Credit Authorship

Journal Mahasiswa: Jurnal Ilmiah Penalaran dan Penelitian Mahasiswa encourages transparent and responsible recognition of individual contributions to scholarly research and publication.

The journal adopts the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) to describe the specific contributions made by each author to a research manuscript.

CRediT provides a standardized framework for identifying individual roles and responsibilities throughout the research and publication process. Its implementation aims to improve transparency, accountability, and recognition of scholarly contributions.

1. CRediT Contributor Roles

Authors are encouraged to identify their respective contributions using the following 14 standardized CRediT roles:

1. Conceptualization

Ideas, formulation, and development of the overarching research goals and objectives.

2. Data Curation

Activities related to managing, organizing, annotating, and maintaining research data for initial use and subsequent reuse.

3. Formal Analysis

Application of statistical, mathematical, computational, or other formal techniques to analyze or synthesize research data.

4. Funding Acquisition

Acquisition of financial support for the research project leading to the publication.

5. Investigation

Conducting research activities, including experiments, data collection, surveys, interviews, and other research processes.

6. Methodology

Development or design of research methodology, including the creation of models, procedures, and analytical approaches.

7. Project Administration

Management and coordination of research activities, including planning, scheduling, and administrative responsibilities.

8. Resources

Provision of research materials, equipment, instruments, datasets, computational resources, or other essential research materials.

9. Software

Development, programming, implementation, testing, or maintenance of software and computer programs used in the research.

10. Supervision

Oversight, leadership, and mentorship responsibilities for research planning and execution.

11. Validation

Verification of research results, methods, and outputs to ensure accuracy, reliability, and reproducibility.

12. Visualization

Preparation and presentation of research data and results through figures, charts, diagrams, tables, or other visual representations.

13. Writing – Original Draft

Preparation, creation, and presentation of the initial manuscript, including substantive translation where applicable.

14. Writing – Review & Editing

Critical review, revision, editing, and improvement of the manuscript before or after publication.

2. Author Contribution Declaration

All authors are encouraged to provide a CRediT contribution statement during manuscript submission.

Each author should be assigned one or more roles that accurately represent their actual contributions to the research.

Multiple authors may share the same contributor role, and one author may fulfill several different roles.

The contribution statement must reflect genuine scholarly activities and should not be used to assign authorship to individuals who do not meet the journal's authorship criteria.

3. Format of CRediT Statement

Authors should provide their contribution statement using the following format:

Example:

Author Contributions:

  • Author 1: Conceptualization, Methodology, Investigation, Formal Analysis, Writing – Original Draft.

  • Author 2: Data Curation, Software, Visualization, Validation.

  • Author 3: Supervision, Project Administration, Funding Acquisition, Writing – Review & Editing.

All listed contributions must accurately reflect the work performed by each author.

The example above is illustrative and should be adjusted according to the actual contributions of the authors.

4. Relationship Between CRediT and Authorship

CRediT describes individual contributions but does not independently determine authorship eligibility.

Being assigned a CRediT role does not automatically qualify an individual for authorship.

All individuals listed as authors must also satisfy the journal's Authorship Criteria.

Individuals who contribute to a research project but do not meet the authorship criteria may be acknowledged in the Acknowledgments section, where appropriate.

5. Corresponding Author Responsibilities

The corresponding author is responsible for coordinating the preparation and submission of the CRediT contribution statement.

The corresponding author must ensure that:

  1. All listed authors have been informed of their assigned contributor roles.

  2. Contributions are accurately and fairly represented.

  3. All authors agree with the final contribution statement.

  4. No contributor role is assigned without a genuine contribution.

  5. The statement is consistent with the research activities described in the manuscript.

The editorial team may request clarification or revision if the contribution statement appears incomplete or inconsistent.

6. Changes to Contributor Roles

Any changes to the CRediT contribution statement after submission must be communicated to the editorial office.

Changes must be justified and approved by the affected authors.

The journal may request additional information to ensure that the revised contribution statement accurately represents the research activities.

7. Policy Implementation

Journal Mahasiswa encourages the use of CRediT in all submitted manuscripts to strengthen transparency and accountability in scholarly publishing.

The editorial team may request a CRediT contribution statement during the submission or editorial process.

The journal follows the official CRediT taxonomy and internationally recognized publication ethics principles.
