problems from developing. After you are done verifying, take some time to do something that is conducive to a healthy mental and physical state of being.  Geolocation coordinate conversion issue. One issue that occurs frequently is mistakenly converting the coordinates of your geolocations. For example, if you get a location in the degrees, minutes, seconds format, you may have to convert it into decimal degree. The decimal locations that you put in the report might not always be precise, which is why you need to always double check the converted decimal degrees. You can do this by inputting the decimal location in Google Maps in the Search Bar (example: 42.35435, 2.35345). If it turns out the location you identified does not match with the resulting geolocation, you may need to repeat the process or use a different converting programme. When pinpointing a location, coordinates need to be precise. At times, the coordinate conversion is missing a hyphen ( - ) before either set of decimals. It is important to check the coordinates before adding them to your report. Sometimes, you only need to add the hyphen before one of the coordinates. Depending on where the hyphen is, it could change the location quite drastically. See screenshots for example below: 55.424109,13.8212223 55.424109,-13.8212223 -55.424109,13.8212223  Steep learning curve. It should be noted that digital verification is a skill with a very steep learning curve, meaning it takes a long time to learn and master the process. It takes time to develop an eye for digital verification and learning from people with more experience will help. Do not get discouraged when you are still facing difficulties after a lot of practice. It may be helpful to look at the Bellingcat website (See Resources and Tools, Section 8.9.1). This organization does a lot of open source and social media research and produces multiple guides, relevant to digital verification. 39
