Overview
Where Cambridge University Press stands on CRediT
Cambridge University Press supports CRediT on a per-journal opt-in basis. Editorial teams of individual titles decide whether to capture structured contributor roles, and adoption varies across humanities, social sciences, and STEM journals.
Scope: Per-journal opt-in; coverage varies across the portfolio
Implementation details
How CRediT is captured and produced
| Submission system | ScholarOne Manuscripts (most journals); Editorial Manager (some) |
| JATS implementation | Where adopted, journals use the standard ScholarOne CRediT module; JATS XML with <role vocab="credit"> emitted in the production XML. |
| Production workflow | For journals that capture CRediT structurally, the roles propagate through the typesetting pipeline into the published HTML/PDF and into Crossref deposits. |
