Journals often ask authors to describe the author contributions i.e. how each of the authors contributed to the study. I always wondered how much detail is enough for an author contribution statement. Will others clearly understand what I mean if I said I was involved in the data analysis or that I’m a supervisor or whatever else. The “CRediT”, which stands for Contributor Roles Taxonomy, is exactly what we need to give clarity to this dilemma. If you wonder how to describe the contributions of authors, watch this video. You can also find more information in the link below this video. This taxonomy uses standardised definitions and descriptions for each of the major contribution categories: Conceptualization, Data curation, Formal Analysis, Funding acquisition, Investigation, Methodology, Project administration, Resources, Software, Supervision, Validation Visualization, Writing – original draft and Writing – review & editing.
