Ethics in Research01:56

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.
Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...
Attribution Theory00:56

Attribution Theory

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). An internal factor is an...
Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Summary

Formal recognition of research contributions is often overlooked in acknowledgments. This study proposes enhancing acknowledgments with ORCID and CRediT information to improve visibility for non-author contributors.

Area of Science:

  • Scholarly communication
  • Bibliometrics
  • Research integrity

Background:

  • Formal recognition is crucial for research careers and funding.
  • Contributions in acknowledgments are often unindexed, leading to underrecognition.
  • Contributorship models aim to recognize specific roles beyond authorship.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose methods for enhancing the recognition of non-author research contributors.
  • To leverage existing infrastructure for improved indexing of acknowledgment information.
  • To increase the visibility of individuals like technicians and library professionals.

Main Methods:

  • Authors to include ORCID identifiers and CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) information in acknowledgments.
  • Publishers to solicit acknowledgee identities via submission portals.
  • Publishers to incorporate acknowledgee metadata into JATS-XML files.

Main Results:

  • Proposed methods aim to encourage scholarly databases to index non-author contributors.
  • Increased visibility for individuals performing essential research tasks.
  • Potential for greater formal recognition of diverse research roles.

Conclusions:

  • Enhancing acknowledgments with structured data (ORCID, CRediT) can improve contributor recognition.
  • Publisher and database integration is key to indexing non-author contributions.
  • This approach complements existing contributorship models and promotes research equity.
