Using iNaturalist data for research - Things to be aware of

Identifications
Certainty of ID.
iNat does not have a reputation system. So it is impossible to know what "research grade" means. Basically if someone proposes an ID, and someone agrees, then it is research grade. But double IDs can come about for many reasons, despite the guidelines (https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/help#identification).
