Authorship Credit - CRediT

Contributor Role Taxonomy (CRediT), allows the identification of each author's individual contribution. Its goal is to provide transparency regarding each author's contribution to the development of a scientific work. It includes 14 roles, detailed below, and each author can have more than one role assigned, meaning they participated in one or more stages of the research/manuscript preparation.

  1. Conceptualization: Ideas; formulation or evolution of overarching research goals and aims.
  2. Data curation: Management activities to annotate (produce metadata), scrub data and maintain research data (including software code, where it is necessary for interpreting the data itself) for initial use and later re-use.
  3. Formal analysis: Application of statistical, mathematical, computational, or other formal techniques to analyze or synthesize study data.
  4. Funding acquisition: Acquisition of the financial support for the project leading to this publication.
  5. Investigation: Conducting a research and investigation process, specifically performing the experiments, or data/evidence collection.
  6. Methodology: Development or design of methodology; creation of models. 
  7. Project administration: Management and coordination responsibility for the research activity planning and execution.
  8. Resources: Provision of study materials, reagents, materials, patients, laboratory samples, animals, instrumentation, computing resources, or other analysis tools.
  9. Software: Programming, software development; designing computer programs; implementation of the computer code and supporting algorithms; testing of existing code components.
  10. Supervision: Oversight and leadership responsibility for the research activity planning and execution, including mentorship external to the core team.
  11. Validation: Verification, whether as a part of the activity or separate, of the overall replication/reproducibility of results/experiments and other research outputs.
  12. Visualization: Preparation, creation and/or presentation of the published work, specifically visualization/data presentation.
  13. Writing (original draft): Preparation, creation and/or presentation of the published work, specifically writing the initial draft (including substantive translation).
  14. Writing (review & editing): Preparation, creation and/or presentation of the published work by those from the original research group, specifically critical review, commentary or revision – including pre- or post-publication stages. 

Cases that do not apply to the CRediT taxonomy should be cited in the Acknowledgements section within the body of the manuscript.
