Intsebenziswano Mass ingakunceda ukuqokelelwa kwedatha, kodwa ibhida kakhulu ukwenzela ukuqinisekisa umgangatho data neendlela ecwangcisiweyo ukuba isampuli.
Ukongezelela ekudaleni ukubalwa kwabantu kunye neeprojekti zokuvula, abaphandi banokudala iiprojekthi zokuqokelela idatha. Enyanisweni, ininzi yesayensi yoluntu sele isencike ekuqokelelelweni kwedatha ngokusebenzisa abasebenzi abahlawuliweyo. Ngokomzekelo, ukuqokelela idatha kwi-General Social Survey, inkampani iqesha abacebisi ukuba baqokele ulwazi kubaphenduli. Kodwa, kuthekani ukuba mhlawumbi singabhenela abavolontiya njengabaqokeleli beedata?
Njengoko imizekelo engezantsi-evela kwi-ornithology kunye ne-computer-show show, idibanisa ukuqokelelwa kwedatha yenza abaphandi baqokele iinkcukacha ngokuphindaphindiweyo nakwezinye indawo kunokuba bekunokwenzeka ngaphambili. Ukongezelela, unikezelo lweenkqubo ezifanelekileyo, ezi nkcukacha zingathembeka ngokwaneleyo ukuba zisetyenziselwe uphando lwezenzululwazi. Enyanisweni, ngemibuzo ethile yophando, ukwabiwa kwedatha kuyilungele kunanoma yintoni na eyayiyokwazi ukuyenza ngokufanelekileyo ngabaqokeleli beenkcukacha ezihlawulwayo.
