 ### 3. **Image Resizing with Uniform Scaling**
 
 **Script:** `resizing_individual_beetle_images.py`
 
-Aligns individual beetle crops with BeetlePalooza's Zooniverse-processed group images by applying uniform scaling factors. This enables accurate transfer of citizen science measurements from resized group images to individual specimens.
+Aligns individual beetle crops with the 2018-NEON-Beetles Zooniverse-processed group images by applying uniform scaling factors. This enables accurate transfer of citizen science measurements from resized group images to individual specimens. Set proper base directories at the top of the script before use.
 
 **Workflow:**
 1. Calculate uniform scaling factors (average of x and y) between original and resized group images
 2. Apply scaling to all individual specimen images
 3. Save scaling metadata and processing statistics to JSON

+### 5. Quality Control and Validation
+
+#### Inter-Annotator Agreement
 
 **Script:** `inter_annotator.py`
 
 Quantifies measurement consistency between human annotators using three pairwise comparisons. Computes RMSE (measurement disagreement), R² (correlation strength), and average bias (systematic tendencies). Generates `InterAnnotatorAgreement.pdf` with scatter plots and console metrics report.
 
-### 7. **Human vs. Automated System Validation**
+```bash
+python scripts/inter_annotator.py
+```
+
+Edit `DATA_PATH` and `ANNOTATOR_PAIRS` in the script to configure input data and comparisons. Outputs `InterAnnotatorAgreement.pdf` and console metrics.
+
+#### Human vs. Automated System
 
 **Script:** `calipers_vs_toras.py`
 
 Validates automated TORAS measurements against human caliper measurements (gold standard). Compares three annotators individually and averaged against the automated system using RMSE, R², and bias metrics. Generates `CalipersVsToras.pdf` with comparison plots.
 
+```bash
+python scripts/calipers_vs_toras.py
+```
+
+Edit configuration variables in the script for data paths and comparison pairs. Generates `CalipersVsToras.pdf` with validation metrics.
 
-### 8. **NEON Data Analysis and Visualization**
+### 6. **NEON Data Analysis and Visualization**
 
 **Script:** `Figure6and10.R`
 
 Analyzes NEON beetle data from PUUM site (Pu'u Maka'ala Natural Area Reserve, Hawaii) integrated with BeetlePalooza citizen science measurements. Retrieves data via NEON API, merges taxonomic identifications with morphometric measurements, and generates species abundance visualizations. Produces `BeetlePUUM_abundance.png` showing imaging status and merged analysis dataset.
 
+Run R script for NEON data analysis:
+
+```bash
+Rscript scripts/Figure6and10.R
+```
+
+Requires NEON API token saved in `NEON_Token.txt` (see [NEON token instructions](#neon-api-token)) and BeetlePalooza metadata (2018-NEON-Beetles `individual_metadata.csv`). Edit paths in script as needed. Produces `BeetlePUUM_abundance.png` showing species distributions.
