Claim CRediT contributions, manage your profile, and subscribe to releases.
What you can do once signed in
A CASRAI account lets you claim CRediT contributions against papers you have authored, with each role mapped to the canonical ANSI/NISO Z39.104-2022 URI so funders and institutions can verify your contribution machine-readably. You can manage your researcher profile — display name, affiliation, and the contributions you want to surface publicly — and subscribe to release notifications for the CASRAI Dictionary and CRediT taxonomy, so you hear about new terms, deprecations, and JATS/JSON-LD changes the moment they ship. Researchers, editors, and publishers who implement CRediT can also join the Verified Contributor Directory — a publicly verified profile with editorially-reviewed journal roles. In a future release the same account will issue API keys for programmatic Dictionary and CRediT integrations.

What can I do once I am signed in?
You can claim CRediT contributions against papers you have authored, manage your researcher profile, subscribe to dictionary release notifications, and (in a future release) generate API keys for programmatic access. Claimed contributions appear publicly on your CASRAI profile unless you mark them private.
How does CASRAI protect my session?
We use an HTTP-only, Secure, SameSite=Lax JWT cookie scoped to casrai.org. Sessions last 7 days, after which you sign in again. Passwords are never stored in plain text, and we do not share your session with third-party analytics or advertising services.
