Data quality maturity model for citizen science applications

Abstract

Advances in scientific projects and researches are a great initiative for real-life applications. Citizen science is the particularly new domain of science that has already proved that it can also be as helpful as classical science. There are several challenges of citizen science, but one major challenge constantly facing is the quality of collected data. There are several techniques to measure data quality as well as to check the characteristics of data quality. This research has produced a data quality maturity model for citizen science applications. Several data quality characteristics are used particularly to citizen science applications during the development of the data quality maturity model for citizen science applications. This model can function as a tool to gauge the functional and quality requirements of a citizen science application
