Coding descriptions and examples

Code group	Code	Description	Example
Information practices	Observing	Sighting species in nature, through organised inventorying or in one's close surroundings	“We have inventoried roadsides for four years. It relates to both what species can be found and the ecology, so it is quite difficult stuff“ (Gabriel)
Information practices	Reporting	Submitting annotated observations to the citizen science species report system Artportalen	“You publish [your reports] directly and the details become public at once, and they are thereby up-to-date” (Adam)
Information practices	Validating	Ensuring the accuracy of data submitted to the information system	“I cannot validate sightings [made] in Norrbotten [in northern Sweden], I do not know what it looks like there. You need people locally who know their region” (Helena)
Values	Validity	Correctness in biodiversity citizen science data production	“[A report shall contain] a species from [Artportalen's] list of species, a site of finding, a datum that can be a period, the person logged in” (Karl)
Values	Credibility	Trustworthiness emerging through thorough participation	“Anyone can add anything, which also happens. So, unfortunately, one surveys who has published the observation [and judges] if it is someone you trust” (Nora)
Values	Authority	Power and control concerning the identification of species	“Most often it is not possible to identify springtails through other means than by microscope. I have received confirmation of that from real experts” (Isaac)
