AUTHOR'S CONTRIBUTION

Author Contributions

Cinchonia uses the CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) methodology to identify each author’s contributions to the editorial process of manuscript preparation. This section must be included at the end of every article. The following explains how the CRediT methodology works. It outlines the following author roles, and each author may indicate one or more roles.

CRediT Taxonomy The CRediT taxonomy is a classification system for authorship roles that is being implemented by many scientific publishers to more accurately manage contributions to research publications. This system identifies the specific role of each author within research articles, assigning each author the corresponding responsibilities and omitting those that do not apply. The authorship roles are presented in the following order:

Conceptualization: Development of general research ideas and objectives.

Data curation: Management and processing of data, including annotation, cleaning, and preparation for future use.

Formal analysis: Use of statistical, mathematical, or computational techniques for data analysis.

Fundraising: Securing the necessary funding for the research project.

Research: Conducting experiments or collecting data.

Methodology: Developing the methodological design and creating research models.

Project management: Coordinating and managing research activities.

Resources: Providing the materials and tools necessary for the research.

Software: Development and programming of the required computer codes and algorithms.

Supervision: Leadership and guidance in the planning and execution of the research.

Validation: Verification of the replicability of the results or experiments.

Visualization: Design and presentation of the study’s data and results.

Writing – original draft: Preparation of the initial manuscript, including substantive translations if applicable.

Writing – review and editing: Critical review and editing of the manuscript, both prior to and after publication.

Each role is defined to clarify individual contributions and ensure proper attribution in scientific publications. At the end of the article template, the role of each author must be indicated according to the CrediT taxonomy
