duplicate work

  • affenspiel by affenspiel

    Hi Science Team,

    How many times do people view the same videos over and over? it seems like every time i click on "Discuss on Talk" after documenting an interesting animal sighting, someone has already seen the video and tagged it. Does this not mean that you are having citizen scientists do duplicate work?

    Hi,

    Good question! It is exactly as you said: Each video (or image at other projects) is classified by multiple users. It is the best way to get correct results. There were some nice blog posts explaining how it works.. will look for them later (I'm too busy at this moment).

    Cheers,

    Zuzi
