AB  - Citizen Science (CS) significantly contributes to the study and management of biological invasions. Technological
developments such as social media, internet scraping, eDNA, apps, sensors, search engines and predictive
analytics can foster projects and increase the reach of CS. The list of tech is long and their potential
for alien species CS is unclear. To help research funders and project initiators we performed a horizon scan
on the value of emerging technologies for alien species CS.
A network of 44 experts from the COST Action Alien-CSI identified and assessed 39 technologies. Assessors
rated their usefulness on a 5-point Likert scale with respect to their potential to attract new audiences,
improve inclusivity, applicability in daily life, ability to increase engagement, provide feedback, improve
data quality and gather new data.
The results of the scoring were discussed at a consensus workshop. Consistency among ratings was
explored using inter-rater reliability metrics and ordination techniques. Experts were asked to explain
and discuss the reasons for inconsistent rating across technologies or criteria, focusing on the evidence
used or differences in interpretation of criteria. After this, one new round of individual re-evaluation of
technologies followed. The discussions resulted in increased consensus on the potential of the different
technologies.
Mobile-based data collection platforms and social media (both their use to interact with CS participants
as well as their potential for scraping new occurrence records) were the top-ranking technologies for IAS
CS, followed by machine learning techniques, the application of AI and collective intelligence. Technologies
differed considerably in their potential when different criteria were individually considered. For instance,
DNA-based technologies ranked high on acquiring new data, open data technologies scored high on their
potential to improve the quality of collected data. Virtual reality and gamification scored high on their potential
to increase engagement in IAS CS.
