Recap

• Funders spend $1.6 trillion per year

• What are they getting for this?

• Journals are “research evaluation machines”

• Narrative: journals are “broken” as tools for measuring research output

• Funders feel they are flying blind

• Funders looking for new tools to help with granularity and accuracy

• Most basic question: Who did the research? (ORCID)

• Next most basic question: What did they do?

• CRediT – Contributor Role Taxonomy

“A standard is just a suggestion until somebody uses it”

• Integrated into workflow (software)

• Scalable

• Industrial strength

• Easy to activate

Deploying CRediT – what does it mean?

Submission and Peer Review

• Editorial Manager - used by thousands of journals

• Millions of manuscripts submitted and processed each year

If you can’t associate CRediT terms with an identifiable individual – what’s the point?

Don’t even think about implementing CRediT unless you have a system in place for capturing authenticated ORCIDs

Who gets the CRediT?

You need a system that supports authenticated ORCID

ORCID is foundation stone
