Описание: Natural history collections are extraordinarily valuable resources for taxonomy, systematics, and ecological and climate change research. As data-intensive research methods proliferate, the aggregation of billions of digitized records from natural history collections across the world can become input for machine learning models that evaluate broad biological patterns among specimens representing diverse species and their associated metadata at a scale that was previously impossible. A less commonly reported importance of collections is their significance recording in the scientific process and evidence of science as a community endeavor. People are involved in every aspect of these collections, as collectors, preparators, identifiers, and species authors. These contributions are not always consistently or accurately identified on specimen labels or in the digitized metadata, however, which impacts downstream analyses. Significant barriers to accurate specimen attribution remain, which disproportionately affect how the contributions of women researchers are recognized. In this presentation at the 22nd National Botanical Symposium, “The Future of Collections-Based Plant Science,” held on May 16, 2025, Rebecca Dikow (Yale University) addresses both strategies for improving data accuracy and consistency as well as the benefits of centering the people in collections-based research.
