“…A citizen science approach to collaboration offers an avenue to redefine how we collaborate, what constitutes expertise, and who can be involved in knowledge creation [37]. Open and public science methods, make room for traditional, indigenous, and population-specific knowledge and co-creation with groups whose value has been historically minimized or erased [38]. According to the Ten Principles of citizen science, developed by the European citizen science association, proper credit and acknowledgment of the contributions of citizen scientists are essential [39].…”

Health Equity Tourism: Ravaging the Justice Landscape

As the long-standing and ubiquitous racial inequities of the United States reached national attention, the public health community has witnessed the rise of "health equity tourism". This phenomenon is the process of previously unengaged investigators pivoting into health equity research without developing the necessary scientific expertise for high-quality work. In this essay, we define the phenomenon and provide an explanation of the antecedent conditions that facilitated its development. We also describe the consequences of health equity tourism -namely, recapitulating systems of inequity within the academy and the dilution of a landscape carefully curated by scholars who have demonstrated sustained commitments to equity research as a primary scientific discipline and praxis. Lastly, we provide a set of principles that can guide novice equity researchers to becoming community members rather than mere tourists of health equity.

The rationale of this article is the need to elicit the trending themes relevant to the latest research on biodiversity conservation and tourism sustainability. Hence, the purpose of this study: stocktaking of cutting-edge research articles in this field and eliciting the critical trends and issues shaping the knowledge, future research, and technical development perspectives on biodiversity conservation and tourism sustainability. The focus is on the trends, which are pivotal for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals until 2030. A hierarchical cluster analysis was undertaken with a KH Coder 3.0 tool to elicit topical co-occurrence networks for thematic words in academic papers from 2015 to 2020 on the topic, quarried from Google Scholar. The article’s main findings are the seven identified major trending research themes on biodiversity conservation and tourism sustainability: (1) Community-based tourism development; (2) National Park management for tourism; (3) Sustainable tourist motivation; (4) Biodiversity conservation and ecotourism; (5) Landscape and land use changes; (6) Visitor satisfaction monitoring; and (7) Ecotourism modelling. The article’s main conclusion is that the criteria and conditions for responsible low-key tourism in protected areas, both for biodiversity and local communities, are pivotal factors to consider for future research on biodiversity conservation and tourism sustainability.

“…This is particularly essential when it comes to Indigenous data; the CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance are a critical framework for ensuring Indigenous peoples’ rights to the control of Indigenous data (GIDA 2019 , Carroll et al 2021 ). In addition, when data are collected by community members, as with citizen science, it is important to understand and respect volunteers’ motivations for and concerns about the use of data they have contributed (Ganzevoort et al 2017 , Lynn et al 2019 , Tengö et al 2021 ). The continued normalization of open data sharing must center scholarship and practice that respects ethical data governance, stewardship, and access.…”

Open Data Practices among Users of Primary Biodiversity Data

Presence-only biodiversity data are increasingly relied on in biodiversity, ecology, and conservation research, driven by growing digital infrastructures that support open data sharing and reuse. Recent reviews of open biodiversity data have clearly documented the value of data sharing, but the extent to which the biodiversity research community has adopted open data practices remains unclear. We address this question by reviewing applications of presence-only primary biodiversity data, drawn from a variety of sources beyond open databases, in the indexed literature. We characterize how frequently researchers access open data relative to data from other sources, how often they share newly generated or collated data, and trends in metadata documentation and data citation. Our results indicate that biodiversity research commonly relies on presence-only data that are not openly available and neglects to make such data available. Improved data sharing and documentation will increase the value, reusability, and reproducibility of biodiversity research.
