Summary
Researchers can now formally document their contributions to scientific papers using the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) standard. A new tool called tenzing simplifies planning and recording these contributions for journal articles.
Area of Science:
- Scientific publishing
- Research integrity
- Scholarly communication
Background:
- Traditional author lists offer limited insight into individual research contributions.
- The need for transparent and accurate attribution of scholarly work is increasing.
- Existing methods for documenting researcher roles are often insufficient.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) standard for detailing author contributions.
- To present tenzing, a web-based application and R package, as a tool to facilitate CRediT adoption.
- To enhance the process of planning, recording, and reporting researcher contributions in scientific publications.
Main Methods:
- Discussion of the CRediT standard's framework and its benefits.
- Description of the tenzing web app and R package functionalities.
- Demonstration of tenzing's utility in managing and documenting contributions throughout a research project.
Main Results:
- CRediT provides a standardized way to define specific roles in research.
- tenzing offers a user-friendly platform for implementing CRediT.
- The tool streamlines the documentation of contributions for journal submissions.
Conclusions:
- Adoption of CRediT, supported by tools like tenzing, promotes greater transparency in scientific authorship.
- tenzing facilitates the practical application of contributorship, improving accountability and credit attribution.
- This approach enhances the integrity and clarity of scholarly contributions in research publications.

Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

01:18Methods of Documentation I: Source-Oriented Records
1.5K
Source-oriented records, or SOR, are medical record-keeping organized by the data source. The SOR system was first developed in the mid-1900s to organize the growing patient data in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
In an SOR, each discipline involved in patient care maintains a separate medical record section. This record-keeping method enables easy tracking of patient progress and ensures healthcare staff have access to up-to-date information.
Key Attributes include the following:

Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).
