The Journal of Innovation Management (JIM) requires CRediT Statements to be provided in the Title Page during the submission process. This statement appears after each author's biography.

 

The CRediT Statements follow the standard as described in the "CRediT – Contributor Roles Taxonomy" acknowledging (crediting) anyone holding any of the Contributor Roles that fall within the 14 specified categories (conceptualization; data curation; formal analysis; funding acquisition; investigation; methodology; project administration; resources; software; supervision; validation; writing – original draft; writing – review & editing).

Note:

• The roles given in the taxonomy include, but are not limited to, the traditional authorship roles.
• The roles are not intended to define what constitutes authorship, but instead to capture all the work that allows scholarly publications to be produced.

 

Recommendations for applying the CRediT taxonomy are:

• List all Contributions - All contributions should be listed, whether from those listed as authors or individuals named in acknowledgements;
  
  
• Multiple Roles Possible - Individual contributors can be assigned multiple roles, and a given role can be assigned to multiple contributors;
  
  
• Degree of Contribution Optional - Where multiple individuals serve in the same role, the degree of contribution can optionally be specified as ‘lead’, ‘equal’, or ‘supporting’;
  
  

• Shared Responsibility - Corresponding authors should assume responsibility for role assignment, and all contributors should be given the opportunity to review and confirm assigned roles.

 

The taxonomy has been refined by Consortia Advancing Standards in Research Administration (CASRAI) and National Information Standards Organization (NISO). (Source: https://casrai.org/credit/implement-credit/)
