Does 'Research Grade' actually mean anything?
So as far as I can tell inaturalist's "research grade" observations may actually be the most accurate dataset there is - and if someone ever finds a mistake very easy and immediate to fix. ... Once you learn what it really means, it does make sense. It doesn't necessarily mean "this is 100% accurate" but it's "good enough ...
What is a 'Verifiable Observation' and how does it reach 'Research Grade'?
From here the iNat community of experts and knowledgeable people can assist in identifying the organism. If enough people agree, the observation can reach a 'Research Grade' status. 'Research Grade' -. This status is achieved when a 'Verifiable Observation' has been reviewed and the community is in agreement on the ID.
Does 'Research Grade' actually mean anything?
As @dlevitis has pointed out, Research Grade is clearly, consistently, and publicly defined, and this is a huge benefit to researchers. So yeah, it definitely means something, and it shows, given the fact that when I am doing research using iNaturalist data, I frequently toggle that box on my searches to show only Research Grade observations.
Does 'Research Grade' actually mean anything?
The point of iNaturalist is introducing new users to science. Not implementing new ways to prevent new users from participating in science. People who use iNaturalist data in research are probably aware how it works and that the data needs extra scrutiny. Nobody is making them use this data.
What is the Data Quality Assessment and how do ...
The building block of iNaturalist is the verifiable observation. A verifiable observation is an observation that: has a date; is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates) ... Verifiable observations are labeled Needs ID until they either attain Research Grade status, or are voted to Casual via the Data Quality Assessment. Observations become ...
How are iNaturalist data used for research? : iNaturalist Help
iNaturalist observations are used in thousands of scientific publications. Many of them are using data that are shared with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility as part of the iNaturalist Research-Grade Observations dataset. You can browse the ongoing list of the publications that have cited a GBIF dataset containing at least one record ...
Getting to Research Grade or Casual Status · iNaturalist United Kingdom
Casual is iNaturalist's label for a wide range of kinds of observations that can't make it to Research Grade. For example, if an observation has no date or location or photo/recording, it is automatically labeled as Casual by iNaturalist upon uploading. Another frequent reason for an observation to become Casual is if the plant that's observed ...
What do the map symbols mean? : iNaturalist Help
At very fine zoom levels, the grid cells are replaced by individual, clickable points. The colors of the points indicate the branch of the tree of life that the observation represents. A small white point in the center of the marker indicates that observation is Research Grade.
What is a 'Verifiable Observation' and how does it reach 'Research Grade'?
A minimum of two agreeing IDs are required to reach 'Research Grade'. The intent is that two experts or knowledgeable people must review the observation before it can become 'Research Grade'. When confirming IDs using the 'Agree' button (particularly on your own observations), consider your own knowledge of the particular taxon.
Research Grade · iNaturalist
Research grade observations can be used by scientists all around the world and must meet 5 requirements: Evidence of what you saw. This could be a picture or a recording of sound. What you saw. Identify the Genus and Species name of the organism - if you are unsure, choose a group of organisms that your observation belongs to such as plants ...
We estimate the accuracy of Research Grade observations ...
Exploring the results. For the Research Grade subset, 95% were Correct, 3% were Uncertain and 2% were Incorrect. The average Precision was 99%. By clicking on other tabs you can see the Verifiable subset (Research Grade + Needs ID) had a lower accuracy of 90% Correct, 5% Uncertain and 5% Incorrect. The average Precision was 75% with fewer ...
How can we use big data from iNaturalist to address important questions
Figure 3. iNaturalist observations are unequally distributed around the world (from iNaturalist's Blog). Data from iNaturalist needs to be used with caution. There is an ongoing effort to understand the differences and similarities between the actual species distributions and biogeography and what is observed and recorded on iNaturalist.
iNaturalist Research-grade Observations
iNaturalist observations become candidates for Research Grade when they have a photo, date, and coordinates. They become "Research Grade" when the community agrees on an identification. If the community has multiple opinions on what taxon has been observed, iNaturalist chooses a taxon from all the proposed taxa (a higher-level taxon containing ...
Why is this Observation Casual/Needs ID/Research Grade?
A common issue brought up on the forum is an observation which looks like it meets the criteria for a certain data quality grade (i.e. Casual, Needs ID, or Research Grade), but iNaturalist does not label the observation as having that grade. While this is sometimes caused by a software bug, it is usually due to other reasons. This tutorial goes over what to check before filing a bug report ...

iNaturalist as a data source. In iNaturalist, both observations and identifications are user-driven. Within this framework, a "Research Grade" observation is an observation that has more than two thirds of all identifiers agreeing on a species-level identification (with a minimum of two identifiers) [].Since 2012, these "Research Grade" observations have been routinely published in the ...
Which iNaturalist observations are exported for GBIF, and how often
Research-grade observations with CC0, CC BY, or CC-BY NC licenses. Note that this refers to the observation data license, not the license (or lack thereof) for photos or sounds. iNaturalist generates data for GBIF once a week, and we believe they import it once a week.

Research Grade · iNaturalist
Research Grade. I forgot to mention in the last post...there is a change this year. The project will now only collect observations (and species) that have been verified by a second person and reach research grade (have date, and location, and ID confirmation). This project is included in a larger umbrella project for the Great Lakes Region and ...
How much weight should descriptions of organisms carry when IDing?
Uploading a photo that does not contain evidence of the organism should not be a loophole to allowing observations that aren't supported by media that are evidence to reach Research Grade. I use a downvote in the Evidence of Organism DQA field for media that don't contain evidence of the organism (like perches that used to contain a bird ...
What are the benefits of using iNaturalist to a non-biologist?
Hi everyone! I am a uni student majoring in ecology and marine biology, and hence have great interest in wildlife and the natural world. I enjoy using iNaturalist a lot, but feel like the engagement I have with the platform stems from my further interest to pursue a career in the field of ecology. I have a few friends that frequently send me photos of birds and other wildlife they encounter ...
