A simple web-based tool for generating CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) author contribution statements.
This project is a small hobby project for learning web development and experimenting with GitHub Pages.
- Add any number of authors
- Select official CRediT roles (all 14 roles included)
- Auto-generate formatted contribution statements
- Copy/paste output into manuscripts or acknowledgements
- Fully client-side — no backend required
I built this project to learn:
- basic HTML/CSS/JavaScript
- how to structure small interactive web tools
It’s not meant to be production-grade, but it should be useful for quickly drafting CRediT statements for manuscripts.
Hosted via GitHub Pages:
https://nathanw23.github.io/creditgen/
You can run it locally by simply opening:
index.html
No dependencies are required.
This tool uses the official 14-role CRediT taxonomy, including:
- Conceptualization
- Methodology
- Software
- Validation
- Formal analysis
- Investigation
- Resources
- Data curation
- Writing – original draft
- Writing – review & editing
- Visualization
- Supervision
- Project administration
- Funding acquisition
- HTML for the structure
- CSS for basic styling
- JavaScript for interactivity
- GitHub Pages for hosting
This project is primarily for personal learning, but suggestions or pull requests are welcome!
