“…When accessed in bulk through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), sets of iNaturalist observations can be given digital object identifiers (DOIs) that enable replication studies [ 15 , 16 ], and, within the iNaturalist platform, observations can be collected into projects. Since it is now common to find genomics studies that include hundreds or thousands of samples collected from multiple species across broad geographical or long temporal scales [ 17 , 18 ], the collation of collection records into tractable projects/datasets will enable researchers to keep track of the samples used in a study that they may be planning, carrying out, or have already published.…”

The rapidly growing body of publicly available sequencing data for rare species and/or wild-caught samples is accelerating the need for detailed records of the samples used to generate datasets. Many already published datasets are unlikely to ever be reused, not due to problems with the data themselves, but due to their questionable or unverifiable origins. In this paper, I present iNaturalist—a pre-existing citizen science platform that allows people to post photo observations of organisms in nature—as a tool that allows genomics researchers to rapidly publish observations of samples used to generate sequencing datasets. This practice aligns with the values of the open science movement, and I also discuss how iNaturalist, along with other online resources, can be used to create an open genomics pipeline that enables future replication studies and ensures the value of genomics datasets to future research.
