CRediT: Where credit is due… “What we cannot tell easily by reading a paper is who did what. That is difficult to decipher by consulting the author lists, acknowledgements or contributions sections of most journals; and the unstructured information is difficult to text-mine1, 2. Developments in digital technology present opportunities to do something about this. With the right 'taxonomy', manuscript-submission software could enable researchers to assign contributor roles relatively easily in structured formats during the process of developing and publishing a paper.” Liz Allen, Jo Scott, Amy Brand, Marjorie Hlava & Micah Altman: Publishing: Credit where credit is due, Nature 508, 312–313 (17 April 2014) doi:10.1038/508312a
