Overview
Where IOP Publishing stands on CRediT
IOP Publishing supports CRediT contributor statements via ScholarOne across its physics-and-engineering portfolio. Adoption is per-journal; flagship environment-focused and methods titles have been earliest adopters.
Scope: Available across the IOP portfolio with per-journal opt-in
Implementation details
How CRediT is captured and produced
| Submission system | ScholarOne Manuscripts |
| JATS implementation | Standard ScholarOne CRediT capture; JATS <role vocab="credit"> emitted in production XML where adopted. |
| Production workflow | For titles that capture CRediT, roles flow through ScholarOne to IOPs production pipeline, into the article XML, and onward to Crossref deposits. |
