@deboas, can you clarify the above? Should this list strictly exclude papers on the GBIF list? It’s kind of nice to have them here anyway in my opinion.
Hi @andy71 I don’t see any great problem in adding those papers, if you wish to do so. I simply highlighted that they had already been captured elsewhere, so it didn’t seem necessary to spend a lot of effort to add them here too. Also, in some (many?) of those GBIF papers, they might not even mention that iNaturalist is one of the multiple sources of data, so the wiki captures something a bit different (and of course, includes the many papers that don’t make use of GBIF at all).
Not a paper - a guide that uses iNaturalist photos (found by chance). Is there room for this here? Kolby, J. E. (2021). Identification Guide to Tortoises and Freshwater Turtles: Parts, Products and Derivatives in Trade. Commissioned by CITES Secretariat, Geneva, Switzerland.

Added! Congratulations on the paper @soterplantopus. If you wish to add other articles in the future, you can also edit the wiki (first post in this thread) yourself and add it.

By my count, 156 so far including the previous post of publications up to 2019. Very cool. (Numbering these or having them all in an up to date spreadsheet would be nice though, it’s a bit of a pain to count, and I think it’d be great if people could easily lookup how many publications iNaturalist has been used in.)
Good idea, Kyle, and thanks for counting them up - it’s an impressive total already! Please feel free to build a spreadsheet, and/or to add numbering to the list. The main challenges with a spreadsheet would be updating consistently in both places, and with numbering we’d have to renumber when new references are added in the middle of the list, but it’s a good idea. Perhaps numbering within each year and presenting the total for each year would make this easier to keep track of?
Ok, new wiki created! I have moved 2022 there, so it should still be possible to add additional publications from 2020 and 2021 here. If a curator can change the title to read “2020 and 2021” instead of “2020 onwards” I would appreciate it - I set a flag to do this.
In the long term, this may not turn out to be the most efficient way to record these publications, but let’s continue until someone comes up with a better format. It is fantastic to see so much science being produced on the back of iNaturalist observations!
We used iNaturalist data between the years 2015 and 2019 for sightings of Troides helena and Pachliopta aristolochiae and the locations of their host plants in Singapore.
