CRediT

Seeking to maintain an equitable policy on collaboration in scientific papers, Revista Intercom adopts the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) for papers submitted to the journal.
Below are the 14 collaboration roles, which must be assigned to authors according to their participation, at the time of submission, within the OJS platform:
  • 1. Conceptualization: Formulation or evolution of overarching research goals and aims.
  • 2. Data curation: Management activities to annotate (produce metadata), scrub data, and maintain research data (including software code, where it is necessary for interpreting the data itself) for initial use and later reuse.
  • 3. Formal analysis: Application of statistical, mathematical, computational, or other formal techniques to analyze or synthesize study data.
  • 4. Funding acquisition: Acquisition of the financial support for the project leading to this publication.
  • 5. Investigation: Conducting a research and investigation process, specifically performing the experiments or data/evidence collection.
  • 6. Methodology: Development or design of methodology; creation of models.
  • 7. Project administration: Management and coordination responsibility for the research activity planning and execution.
  • 8. Resources: Provision of study materials, instrumentation, samples, computing resources, or other analysis tools.
  • 9. Software: Programming, software development; designing computer programs; implementation of the computer code and supporting algorithms; testing of existing code components.
  • 10. Supervision: Oversight and leadership responsibility for the research activity planning and execution, including mentorship of the core team.
  • 11. Validation: Verification, whether as a part of the activity or separate, of the overall replication/reproducibility of results/experiments and other research outputs.
  • 12. Visualization: Preparation, creation, and/or presentation of the published work, specifically visualization/data presentation.
  • 13. Writing – original draft: Preparation, creation, and/or presentation of the published work, specifically writing the initial draft (including substantive translation).
  • 14. Writing – review & editing: Preparation, creation, and/or presentation of the published work by those from the original research group, specifically critical review, commentary, or revision — including pre- or post-publication stages.
When completing the submission, please indicate which of these roles each author performed in the construction of the article.
