- Statement for the title page
How it works
The statement has the form of the journal's template: the author, then the roles, one sentence per author. It is always English, as the manuscript is.
Authors without a ticked role are left out; check that everyone who meets the authorship criteria has at least one role.
These tools support writing; they do not replace the Instructions for Authors or the advice of your co-authors and institution.
Questions
What is CRediT?
The Contributor Roles Taxonomy: 14 standard roles that describe what each author did. Roles do not replace the ICMJE authorship criteria.
Where does the statement go?
On the title page, not in the blinded manuscript.
