The Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) aims to solve this problem by identifying levels of author contribution using a series of predefined roles, such as \u201cConceptualization,\u201d \u201cData Curation,\u201d \u201cWriting,\u201d and more. In Editorial Manager, journals have the option to request, or even require, authors to designate CRediT contributor roles during manuscript submission.

Prior to CRediT\u2019s inception, author contributions could be loosely discerned based on name order, but this method lacked transparency and granularity.

In January 2018,\u00a0<i>JBJS<\/i>\u00a0began requiring CrediT as part of submission for all six JBJS, Inc. journals (<i>JBJS, JBJS Essential Surgical Techniques, JBJS Case Connector, JBJS Reviews, JBJS Open Access,\u00a0<\/i>and<i>\u00a0JBJS Journal of Orthopaedics for Physician Assistants<\/i>).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\"><i>JBJS<\/i>\u2019s use of the taxonomy provides a unique opportunity to examine how CRediT roles are being used. For example, examining author submissions to\u00a0<i>JBJS\u00a0<\/i>from May 2017 through March 2018 shows \u201cWriting \u2013 Review and Editing\u201d as the most listed contributor role, with \u201cMethodology\u201d following as second most listed. \u201cSoftware\u201d was the least mentioned role.

She added that journal staff have found it helpful, especially in cases where there are several authors on a submission. Prior to their use of CRediT,\u00a0<i>JBJS<\/i>\u00a0requested that papers with six or more authors be accompanied by a cover letter detailing the contributions of each author. With CRediT, the process became much simpler. \u201cThis feature enabled us to simplify the process of requesting this information and promote greater transparency and awareness by collecting contributor information for all papers,\u201d Nelson said. \u201cJournal staff have benefited from a streamlined protocol where they do not need to request a separate letter. It is a straightforward, self-explanatory feature and they are happy with the overall time saved. We would encourage implementing CRediT as an educational tool for authors and as a source of information for editors evaluating papers with a large number of authors. The surgical field in particular has had a higher degree of honorary or guest authorship cases, and this feature helps mitigate this by asking authors to consciously select the roles for each author and, consequently, be more mindful of who qualifies as an author.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\">Now, having implemented CRediT fully for all six journals, JBJS, Inc. plans to look more closely at CRediT\u2019s value for readers going forward. \u201cAs this is currently an author and editor-facing feature, we hope to turn it more towards the reader in the future by publishing contributor roles alongside the final articles upon publication,\u201d said Nelson.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\">Resources<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;\">Aries Systems Corporation.
