Data Quality Checks: Implementation With Popular Data Collection Crowdsourcing Platforms, James Down, Gregory Balkcom, Kristine Duncan, Ngan (An) Truong, Andrew Lewis

Symposium of Student Scholars

The utilization of online crowdsourcing platforms for data collection has increased over the past two decades in the field of public health due to the ease of use, the cost-saving benefits, the speed of the data collection process, and the accessibility of a potentially true representative population. Although these platforms offer many advantages to researchers, significant drawbacks exist, such as poor data quality, that threaten the reliability and validity of the study. Previous studies have examined data quality concerns, but differences in results arise due to variations in study designs, disciplinary contexts, and the platforms being investigated. Therefore, this study …

Statistical Analysis Of The Relationship Between Protected Bird Species And National Parks, Katherine Harmon

Symposium of Student Scholars

The ecological diversity of Earth is majorly threatened by habitat loss due to the destruction by human intervention. The conservation status of all identified species are classified into nine categories of varying vulnerability as described by the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List. By understanding the vulnerability of specific species, scientists can work to maintain a viable and healthy ecosystem globally by instilling rules and regulations of observed habitats for threatened species. These habitats are identified by surveying potential locations for threatened species and determining the population size at each site. An example of one of these surveys …
