CONTRIBUTION OF AUTHORSHIP

The CRediT taxonomy allows differentiating and recognizing the contribution of each author and co-author in a scientific article, distributing the roles of participation in 14 typologies through which an author can have recognition of it in the publication. All authors must participate in at least two of the four phases of the article: 1) planning, 2) data collection, 3) interpretation of the results, and 4) preparation of the manuscript. All authors of a scientific article must contribute significantly to the development of the research. In case of conflict, the CRediT taxonomy (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) is applied, more information at: https://casrai.org/credit/

1. Conceptualization - Ideas, formulation or evolution of the objectives and general goals of the investigation.
2. Data curation - Management activities to annotate (produce metadata), clean data, and maintain research data (including software code, where necessary to interpret the data itself) for initial use and subsequent reuse .
3. Formal analysis - Application of statistical, mathematical, computational, or other formal techniques to analyze or synthesize study data.
4. Fundraising - Acquisition of financial support for the project leading to this publication.
5. Research - Conducting an investigation and research process, specifically conducting the experiments, or collecting data/evidence.
6. Methodology - Development or design of the methodology and creation of models.
7. Project administration - Responsibility for managing and coordinating the planning and carrying out of the research activity.
8. Resources - Supply of study materials, reagents, materials, patients, laboratory samples, animals, instrumentation, computer resources or other analysis tools.
9. Software - Programming, software development, software design, implementation of computer code and supporting algorithms, testing of existing code components.
10. Supervision - Supervisory responsibility and leadership in planning and conducting research activities, including external mentoring to the core team.
11. Validation - Verification, either as part of the activity or separately, of the overall replicability/reproducibility of the results/experiments or other products of the research.
12. Display - Preparation, creation, or presentation of published work, specifically the display/presentation of data.
13. Writing - original draft - Preparation, creation or presentation of published work, specifically writing the initial draft (including substantive translation).
14. Writing - proofreading and editing - Preparation, creation or presentation of published work by members of the original research group, specifically critical review, commentary or revision - pre- or post-publication stages should be included.

The roles of authorship will be identified in the order that appears below with the name and surname, including each author in the role that corresponds to him; roles that do not apply in each case should be omitted.
