What is the CRediT author taxonomy?
The CRediT taxonomy (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) is a standard set of 14 roles — such as conceptualization, methodology, writing and supervision — used to describe each author's contribution to a paper. Most major journals now require an author contribution statement based on CRediT.
How the author CRediT tool works
This CRediT author contribution tool helps you assign standardised roles to each author and generates a properly formatted contribution statement you can paste straight into your manuscript.
How to use the author CRediT tool
- Add each author on your paper.
- Assign their CRediT roles from the standard list.
- Generate the contribution statement.
- Copy it into your manuscript's author contributions section.
Using the CRediT taxonomy gives transparent, fair credit to everyone involved and meets journal authorship requirements.
