Contributorship Collaboration

The goal of the Contributorship Collaboration project to make curating and reporting scholarly contributions easier and more transparent.

We use CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) to document contributions. CRediT is a taxonomy of 14 categories of contributions to scientific scholarly output. Each researcher can indicate which category they contributed to in a scholarly project.

Our first tool, the tenzing Shiny app and associated 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 may not be credited to him as much as he deserves relative to his partner, the New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary.

This repository contains the landing page for the contributorship-collaboration Github organization. The page was built with hugo and it uses a modified version of the hugo-fresh theme.
