CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) つまり、貢献者の役割の分類法は、Elsevierによると、
個々の著者の貢献を認識し、著者の論争を減らし、共同作業を促進する目的
the intention of recognizing individual author contributions, reducing authorship disputes and facilitating collaboration
で導入したという。例えばNIMなどの雑誌では、 CRediT authorship contribution statement という章が本文の直後に置かれ、各著者の貢献を具体的に書くよう求められるようになった。具体的にと言っても自由に書くのではなく、委員会が用意した以下のTermを使う。
