In Beyond Publication – Increasing Opportunities for Recognizing All Research Contributions, Alice Meadows writes about CRediT, the Contributor Roles Taxonomy, and ORCiD , the Open Researcher and Contributor ID, as tools to expand recognition for a broader range of contributions. Besides financial and market factors, institutional reward systems that elevate prestige and limited types of labor also reinforce a closed knowledge production system. In fact, producing works of scholarship and creativity is often a collaborative effort involving multiple roles. Accurate attribution for the different forms of labor that produce scholarly outputs is one step towards recognizing the range of those outputs. CRediT standardizes 14 contributor roles, including conceptualization, data curation, funding acquisition and software, among others. ORCiD has a profile section for multiple types of affiliations through Memberships and Service, and it supports profile population connections for different work types, such as manual, online resource, research tool, test, etc.. In addition to CRediT, ORCiD is integrated with Publons to include peer review work in a scholar’s profile.
