Implementation details
How CRediT is captured and produced
| Submission system | ScholarOne Manuscripts |
| JATS implementation | ScholarOne CRediT capture; JATS <role vocab="credit"> emitted in production XML; CRediT propagated to Crossref deposits. |
| Production workflow | CRediT data flows from ScholarOne into the typesetting pipeline and into the published article. The standard JATS output supports indexer ingestion of role data. |
