In the past two decades, citizen science has gained recognition due to its benefit and cost-effectiveness, and it has shown its potential to harness observations in wide geographies and over long time periods. Citizen science does, however, need to be verified by researchers hoping to use that data in the future. Within the GLOBE Mosquito Habitat data set, there is a concern of duplicate records, and this research explores the undertaking of removing those duplicates while creating a roadmap for future removal of duplicate data. This research is grounded in the theory of expert review scoring, as all reviewers underwent 10 weeks of NASA Earth Systems training, and this method of scoring was by the law of averages. Keywords: Citizen Science, duplicates, Mosquito habitat
