Data quality

This dataset includes both verified and unverified observations. Users should be aware when interpreting the records. For verification the iRecord system is used which has NBN record cleaner rules incorporated within it. In addition, further checks are made for outlying records (based on species, location and date) by invasive species experts.

Methods

Direct ad hoc and structured survey observations and photographs of Scotland's invasive non-native species priorities. Records to be submitted to NBN without verfication being required and non-verified status to be clearly identified on NBN. Verification to be undertaken within the iRecord verification system.
