+## Data Quality 
+
+GBIF is a large data aggregator. It mediates occurrences occurrence records from a large variety of sources: 
+
+* Museums
+* eDNA
+* Citizen Science Apps 
+* Ecological Surveys
+* Camera Traps
+* Satellite Tracking
+* Herbaria
+* Paleontology 
+* Research Projects
+
+For this reason, not all of the occurrences from GBIF are "fit for use", meaning they are not suitable for a **particular** purpose or project. Some data-quality issues are so well understood that there are automated ways to detect and remove them from a dataset.
+
+* Country Centroids
+* Living Specimens
+* Fossils
+* Uncertain Records
+* Country Coordinate Mismatch 
+* Zero-Zero Coordinate
+* Any-Zero Coordinates
+* Gridded Datasets
