CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) is a high-level taxonomy, including 14 roles, that can be used to represent the roles typically played by contributors to research outputs. The roles describe each contributor’s specific contribution to the scholarly output. (https://credit.niso.org/)
A utility for validating CRT Contributor Roles in your application, building canonical URLs, and showing descriptions.
npm install credit-rolesThe library has no dependencies, and is helpful in validating, normalizing and showing descriptions of CRediT roles.
import { credit, CreditRole, CreditDescriptions } from 'credit-roles';
// Validate that a string is a role
credit.validate('contributor'); // true
// Handles British spelling and capitalizations
credit.normalize('conceptualiSation'); // "Conceptualization"
// Handles different punctuation
credit.normalize('writing: original draft'); // "Writing – original draft"
// Show the descriptions in your application
CreditDescriptions['Supervision']; // Oversight and leadership responsibility...
// An enum for easy access to the roles
