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.
