The goal of the Contributorship Collaboration project to make curating and reporting scholarly contributions easier and more transparent.
Our first tool, the tenzing Shiny app and assiciated R package were developed to facilitate researcher reporting of contributorship information in manuscripts and journal articles.
tenzing is named after the Nepali-Indian Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, who was one of the two individuals who reached the summit of Mount Everest for the first time. Despite his essential contribution, the achievement is less credited to him than to his partner, the New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary.
