Abstract

Key Points The CRediT Standing Committee has developed examples of research tasks that can be attributed to each CRediT role. Further integration of CRediT within scholarly communication will require ongoing attention to technical, social, and financial challenges. Crossref's adoption of CRediT will centralise and disseminate contributor metadata, improving visibility, reuse, and attribution.
