About the talk
Original research articles with one author – particularly in the life sciences – are increasingly rare, and the concept of ‘authorship’ in science has become outdated and often unhelpful. CRediT was developed through a collaboration of research funders, publishers, researchers and institutions with the aim was to provide greater granularity, visibility and transparency to the myriad of contributions that researchers make to published scholarly research output today. This talk explains the origins, rationale and current use of the Contributor Role Taxonomy (CRediT) – leaving room for discussion of the challenges and opportunities for the future of this initiative.
