3. Author Contributions – CRediT Taxonomy
Manuscripts with two or more authors are required to provide an Author Contributions statement using the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) to promote transparency in authorship. A statement regarding each author's contribution to the manuscript using the 14 CRediT contributor roles: Conceptualization, Data curation, Formal analysis, Funding acquisition, Investigation, Methodology, Project administration, Resources, Software, Supervision, Validation, Visualization, Writing–original draft, and Writing–review & editing
Each author should identify the role(s) that accurately reflect their contribution to the manuscript. An individual author can hold multiple roles, and multiple authors can share a single role.
For example:
[Author’s name] – Conceptualization, Formal analysis, Supervision
[Author’s name] – Supervision
[Author’s name] – Data curation, Investigation, Validation
[Author’s name] – Data curation
Please see our journal’s research/review article templates and visit https://credit.niso.org/ for further information and definitions of each role.
