CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) is a taxonomy of 14 roles. You can use CRediT to describe each contributor’s specific contribution to the scholarly output.

CrediT contributes to a more transparent research record.

A helpful tool to record CrediT contributions is Tenzing. You can cite Holcombe et al. 2020 when you use this tool.

Using Rescognito you can allocate your CrediT contributions with your ORCID and your publications (via the DOI).
