Author Contributions

Mimbar Sekolah Dasar adopts the CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) to promote transparency in author contributions and research collaboration. This taxonomy provides a standardized way to describe each author's specific contributions to the published work.

1. Submission Requirement

All authors must provide a clear Author Contributions statement using the CRediT taxonomy. This statement must be:

  • Submitted as a separate section within the Title Page, and

  • Included at the time of the initial submission.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that:

  • All listed authors have agreed to their respective roles,

  • The contribution statement is complete and accurate,

  • All contributors meet the authorship criteria.

2. Recognized CRediT Roles:

  1. Conceptualization – Formulating the research idea and goals.

  2. Methodology – Designing the methodology or model.

  3. Software – Developing software, code, or algorithms.

  4. Validation – Ensuring reproducibility and verification of results.

  5. Formal Analysis – Performing statistical or mathematical analyses.

  6. Investigation – Conducting experiments or data collection.

  7. Resources – Providing study materials or analysis tools.

  8. Data Curation – Organizing and maintaining data.

  9. Writing – Original Draft – Drafting the initial manuscript.

  10. Writing – Review & Editing – Reviewing and revising the manuscript.

  11. Visualization – Preparing figures, tables, or data presentations.

  12. Supervision – Guiding the research and mentoring.

  13. Project Administration – Managing the project.

  14. Funding Acquisition – Securing financial support for the research.

3. Example Format for Title Page:

Author Contributions:
A.H. contributed to Conceptualization, Methodology, and Writing – Original Draft.
B.R. handled Data Curation and Formal Analysis.
C.S. was responsible for Supervision and Funding Acquisition.

This information will be used during the peer review process and published with the article upon acceptance.

This policy follows the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) developed by CASRAI.
