Overview
Where Karger stands on CRediT
Per Karger’s own publication-ethics page (karger.com/pages/publication-ethics), CRediT is recommended as a structuring aid for the (narrative) Author Contribution Statement, not confirmed as a mandatory or structurally-captured field. No dated adoption announcement was located.
Scope: Per-journal — many titles use Editorial Managers structured capture
Implementation details
How CRediT is captured and produced
| Submission system | Editorial Manager |
| JATS implementation | Not independently confirmed as a structured Editorial Manager module. Karger’s own publication-ethics page states: "The Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) is a useful structure to refer to when preparing the Author Contribution Statement" — a recommended framework for a narrative statement, not a confirmed structured-capture pipeline. |
| Production workflow | Not independently confirmed. CASRAI found no primary source describing a structured JATS/Crossref pipeline for CRediT roles at Karger — only a narrative-statement recommendation on the publisher’s own ethics page. |
