First eBird.
EBird Helping science, fun.
In my opinion, part of this skepticism comes from thinking about eBird in the wrong way.
EBird collects data on birds from birders;
Many people first think“Is the eBird data perfect?”, and the answer is absolutely not.
As eBird demonstrates, distributed data collection can be used for scientific research.
Many non-ornithologists are initiallyextremely skeptical when they hear about eBird for the first time.
One of the beauties of eBird is that it captures“work” that is already happening- in this case, birding.
In other words, when you start pilot testing, your project willnot- and should not- look as polished as Galaxy Zoo or eBird.
First, eBird researchers are constantly trying to upgrade the quality of the data submitted by birders.
For more on howresearchers use statistical models to analyze eBird data see Hurlbert and Liang(2012) and Fink et al.(2010).

It is not yet clear if these statistical models fully remove biases from the data,but ornithologists are confident enough in the quality of adjusted eBird data that, as had been mentioned earlier, it has been used in almost 100 peer-reviewed scientific publications.
For example, in eBird, data collection is determined by the location of birders, not the location of the birds.
A classic example of a distributed data collection is eBird, in which hundreds of thousands of volunteers contribute reports about birds they see.
Second, eBird researchers use statistical models that attempt to correct for the noisy and heterogeneous nature of the raw data.
Of course, like the data from eBird, the data from the Malawi Journals Project are not perfect, an issue discussed in detail by Watkins and colleagues.
EBird researchers have two main solutions to these data quality issues, issues that arise in many other distributed data collection projects.

However, eBird, and related projects, indicate that challenges related to sampling and data quality are concerns for distributed data collection projects.

EBird is a distributed data collection project that solicits information from birders around the world, and it has already received over 260 million bird sightings from 250,000 participants(Kelling et al. 2015).

For example, eBird offers education to participants, and it has created visualizations of each participant's data that, by their design, encourage birders to upload information about all species that they observed, not just a subset(Wood et al. 2011; Wiggins 2011).
