["This project focus on long-term species and communities monitoring rather than short-term and/or project-specific ones. "]
["For instance, citizen science monitoring schemes qualify if data is collected repeatedly and regularly (e.g. every year, every 5 years) and intend to run long-term. "]
["Short and medium-term projects (e.g. pre- and post- intervention monitoring) do not apply unless they intend to keep collect data for a large number of years on a regular basis. "]

["1.     Does the scheme repeatedly and regularly collect information, or intend to, to detect long-term changes in the abundance or distribution of one or more defined species or communities?"]
["Options:"]
["·         Yes: keep assessing the scheme"]
["·         No: stop assessing the scheme"]
["·         Don’t know: stop assessing the scheme"]
["Examples:"]
["Yes: A scheme requires weekly data collection at survey sites for five months every year. No indication of the time frame but it is coordinated by a charity that states it wants to ensure that monitoring efforts continue."]
["         Species censuses or atlases that are repeated on a regular basis, e.g. every five years."]
["No: A short-term monitoring project is set up to collect information on a regular basis to obtain some baseline data but does not intend to keep going for a longer time (e.g. monthly for two years)."]
["        A project monitors the effect of an intervention, for instance before intervention and straight after intervention, then after 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, data is not collected REGULARLY even if the project is long-term."]
["        Species censuses or atlases that are not repeated, or on an irregular basis."]
["Don’t know: Organisation that only states it monitors a species by undertaking regular surveys. Not enough information to definitely select or not the scheme for the review."]
[]
["2.     Does the scheme aim to measure changes in abundance or distribution at international, national, subnational or local level?"]
["Options:"]
["•         The scheme aims to monitor trends at the local or site scale. Type = 1"]
["•         The scheme aims to monitor trends at the regional (i.e. sub-national) scale. Type = 2"]
["•         The scheme aims to monitor trends at the national scale. Type = 3"]
["•         The scheme aims to monitor trends at the international scale. Type = 4"]
["•         Don’t know"]
["Notes:"]
["We are more interested in the intention of the scheme rather than sample representativeness (which is partly covered in question 4). For instance, a scheme could be aiming to establish national trends but data collection might not be fully representative of the species population to allow for robust trends, the Type would still remain 3 for national."]
["If the monitoring covers only one or a few sites, but these sites hold a high proportion of the national or sub-national populations of the species or communities of interest, Type = 3 (national) or 2 (regional/sub-national)."]
["Type 1 concerns small scale monitoring while Type 2 operates at a larger scale, but not nationally. The distinction might be unclear in some cases, for instance national parks that could be large enough to qualify as regional (sub-national). Select the most appropriate option in your opinion."]
[]
["3.     What type of results can the scheme provide?"]
["Options:"]
["•         The scheme can only provide information on change in distribution (presence/absence data). Type = 1"]
["•         The scheme can only provide population trends (changes in indices of abundance) but no population sizes. Type = 2"]
["•         The scheme can provide estimates of population sizes, including densities, and trends. Type = 3"]
["•         Don’t know"]
["Notes:"]
["Information to answer this question can usually be found in detailed methodology (data analysis), online or published reports and scientific literature."]
["Examples:"]
["Type 1: A scheme that monitors the presence or absence of a species in selected survey sites."]
["Type 2: A scheme that records bat passes as a proxy to provide trends in relative abundance of some species."]
["Type 3: A scheme that uses distance sampling to estimate population densities and provide annual trends in population abundance."]
[]
["4.     How are survey sites selected?"]
["Options:"]
["•         The survey sites are entirely selected by participants, or there are no survey sites (e.g. ad hoc or opportunistic records). Type = 1"]
["•         The survey sites are selected by participants on the basis of general guidance provided to them. Type = 2"]
["•         The survey sites are pre-selected by the scheme OR the survey sites are dictated by the restricted range or habitats of the species or communities of interest. Type = 3"]
["•         Don’t know"]
["Examples:"]
["Type 1: A scheme that encourage participants to take part wherever they want with the only obligation of recording the survey location."]
["Type 2: A large-scale citizen science project instructs participants to monitor animals in their garden, or if not available, a local park, someone else’s garden etc, this is general guidance."]
["Type 3: A scheme restricted to only a few sites but these are the only ones where the species of interest occurs due to restricted range, e.g. monitoring sea turtle nests, monitoring mountain gorillas."]
["               A scheme that uses a stratified random sampling methodology to select grid squares to survey."]
[]
["5.     How regularly are survey sites monitored?"]
[" Options:"]
["•         No effort is made to re-visit the same sites, OR the location of the sites is not recorded OR there are no survey sites (e.g. ad hoc records) OR re-visits are discouraged. Type = 1"]
["•         Some effort may be made to re-visit the same sites each time. Type = 2"]
["•         Strong effort is made so a significant proportion of or all the sites are re-visited each time. Type = 3"]
["•         Don’t know"]
["Examples:"]
["Type 1: Schemes that mostly aim to raise public awareness and do not mention re-visits. Some sites may be re-visited but core participation is low."]
["Type 2: Schemes that do not explicitly encourage re-visits each survey season but have a certain number of core sites that are regularly surveyed."]
["Type 3: Schemes that select a subset of sites to re-visit each time, so that all sites are re-visited after a few monitoring cycles."]
["               Schemes that encourage participants to take part each survey season and/or have a significant number of sites that are monitored on a regular basis thanks to large participant’s involvement."]
[]
["6.     What is the level of standardisation of the survey methodology?"]
["Options:"]
["•      Participants are given little or no guidance on how, or how long to count, and data collected at different sites or on different visits are very unlikely to be directly comparable. Type = 1"]
["•      Participants are given some guidance on how, or how long, to count, but data collected at different sites or on different visits are not likely to be directly comparable. Type = 2"]
["•       All participants use the same standardised method each time for collecting and recording data, such that data collected at different sites or on different visits are directly comparable. Type = 3"]
["·         Don’t know"]
["Examples:"]
["Type 1: Schemes that encourage participants to go out and record sightings but do not provide further guidance."]
["Type 2: Schemes that do not use a strictly standardised method but provide guidance to maximise records e.g. time and habitats to focus surveys on."]
["Type 3: Schemes that provide a detailed protocol, for instance transects, point counts etc."]
["               The protocol requires the participant to record time spent on the survey (survey effort), so data standardisation across sites can be done at the analysis stage."]
