Authorship

REHJ subscribes to the CRediT authorship initiative (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) which is an initiative of CASRAI (Consortia Advancing Standards in Research Administration) that aims to differentiate and recognize the contribution of each author who signs an academic research article.

 

This taxonomy distributes participation roles into 14 typologies through which an author obtains recognition in the publication, identifying themselves in one of the following categories:

 

  1. Conceptualization - Ideas, formulation or evolution of research objectives.
  2. Data curation - Management activities to annotate (produce metadata), clean data and maintain research data (including software code, where necessary to interpret the data itself) for initial use and subsequent reuse.
  3. Formal analysis - Application of statistical, mathematical, computational or other techniques to record, analyze or synthesize study data.
  4. Funding acquisition - Acquisition of financial support for the project leading to publication.
  5. Investigation - Execution of research, specifically performing experiments or collecting data/evidence.
  6. Methodology - Development or design of methodology.
  7. Project administration - Management and coordination responsibility for planning and conducting research activity.
  8. Resources - Provision of study materials, reagents, materials, patients, laboratory samples, animals, instrumentation, computing resources or other analysis tools.
  9. Software - Programming, software development, computer program design, implementation of computer code and supporting algorithms, testing existing code components.
  10. Supervision - Oversight and leadership responsibility in planning and conducting research activities, including external mentoring to the core team.
  11. Validation - Verification, either as part of the activity or separately, of the overall replicability/reproducibility of results/experiments or other research products.
  12. Visualization - Preparation, creation or presentation of published work, specifically visualization/presentation of data.
  13. Writing - original draft - Preparation, creation or presentation of published work, specifically writing the initial draft (including substantive translation).
  14. Writing - review & editing - Preparation, creation or presentation of published work by members of the original research group, specifically critical review, comment or revision - pre- or post-publication stages should be included.
