Overview
Where De Gruyter stands on CRediT
De Gruyter supports author-contributions reporting on its journals, with structured CRediT capture available on titles that have adopted it. Given the breadth of its humanities and STEM portfolio, adoption is decided at the individual-journal level rather than via a single portfolio-wide mandate.
Scope: Per-journal opt-in across a broad humanities, social-sciences, and STEM portfolio
Implementation details
How CRediT is captured and produced
| Submission system | Editorial Manager (most journals); ScholarOne (some) |
| JATS implementation | Where adopted, structured CRediT roles are captured in the submission system and emitted as JATS <role vocab="credit"> in the production XML; coverage is not uniform across the portfolio. |
| Production workflow | For journals that capture CRediT, the roles flow into the production XML and the Crossref deposit for the article DOI. |
