Posters and one-pagers

Print-ready PDFs for library noticeboards, conference handouts, faculty meetings, and institutional rollout. Released under CC-BY 4.0 — adapt freely with attribution.

The poster library is the printable face of the dictionary. Each sheet is built to be read at arm's length, copied to a noticeboard, or handed out at a conference table without further introduction. The editorial constraint is one sheet, one topic, in language a working researcher will recognise.

What's planned for v2026.2

The first cohort of one-pagers is in editorial design. Each draws on existing authority — the CRediT explainer cites the NISO definitions; the narrative-CV summary references the DORA principles and the COARA agreement.

Dictionary one-pager

Planned

A single A4 sheet explaining what the CASRAI Dictionary is, what the twenty domains cover, where to read it, and how to cite it. Suitable for library noticeboards, faculty-meeting handouts, and onboarding packs for new research-office staff.

CRediT explainer

Planned

The fourteen CRediT roles, defined briefly, with worked-example author statements drawn from real published papers. Aligned with the formal ANSI/NISO Z39.104-2022 standard and the wording on casrai.org/credit.

AI-disclosure guide

Planned

A practitioner-facing one-pager on disclosing generative-AI use in research outputs. Sits alongside the AI use and disclosure dictionary domain; references publisher guidance from the major journals.

Narrative-CV summary

Planned

A compact reference on narrative-CV formats (Royal Society Résumé for Researchers, R4RI, NIH biosketch) and how dictionary terms map across them. Useful for institutions adopting narrative formats under the DORA / COARA framing.

Release timeline

The first batch of one-pagers ships with the CASRAI Dictionary v2026.2 release in late 2026. Until then, this page sits in its planning state by design. Subscribe to the quarterly newsletter for the release announcement.

Coming with v2026.2

Once published, every poster will be downloadable in A4 and US Letter sizes, with source files for translation and adaptation under CC-BY 4.0.

Adaptation and translation

The posters are CC-BY 4.0. You may translate, re-skin, or excerpt them, provided attribution is preserved. If you produce a translation worth sharing back, the language-committee route at /get-involved/translate is the way to formalise it.
