Authors and Roles
Use ↑ and ↓ to reorder authors. Initials are generated automatically and can be edited manually.
Machine-readable: JATS XML
The same assignments as a <contrib-group>, each role carrying its official CRediT identifier.
JATS 1.2 markup, tagged the way the JATS4R recommendation asks for. Submission systems collect CRediT roles themselves, so this is for a deposit or a publishing workflow rather than for a manuscript. Write a name as Newton, Isaac to have it split into <surname> and <given-names>; any other name is emitted whole as <string-name>.
Free CRediT statement generator for research manuscripts
CRediT Statement Builder helps researchers prepare author contribution statements using the 14 roles of the CRediT Contributor Role Taxonomy. Add authors, select their contributor roles, and generate author-based and role-based statements instantly, in the layouts Frontiers, MDPI and PLOS print. Role names, their definitions and their identifiers follow ANSI/NISO Z39.104-2022, and the same assignments can be exported as JATS XML.
The tool runs entirely in your browser and requires no registration. Author names and role selections are never uploaded or stored — they exist only while the page is open, and closing or reloading it discards them.
