Normally, the first author of a scientific paper organizes\na table in a spreadsheet where all the authors self-state their\ncontributions. Often too, it is the first author responsibility to state\nthe contributions of all co-authors. However, at the end, the\ninformation has to be translated to the CRediT statement format of\n“Author 1: roles Authors 2: roles …” which is prone to errors and\ntedious, especially if there are many co-authors. The CRediTas package\naims to make this easier by providing a template to be filled in form of\na table (csv) and then converting this table to CRediT statement format.\n\n## Installation\n\nYou can install the development version of CRediTas from\n[r-universe](https://r-universe.dev/) with:\n\n``` r\ninstall.packages(\"CRediTas\", repos = \"https://ropensci.r-universe.dev\")\n```\n\nOr you can install de long term release version from\n[CRAN](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=CRediTas) as usual:\n\n``` r\ninstall.packages(\"CRediTas\")\n```\n\n## Example\n\nThe workflow is meant to work with three basic functions. First, we\ncreate a template table. It can be created as a `data.frame` and being\npopulated in R. Or as a csv file and being populated in your preferred\ncsv editor.\n\n``` r\nlibrary(CRediTas)\n\ntemplate_create(authors = c(\"Alexander Humboldt\", \"Carl Ritter\"), file = tempfile())\n\ncras_table <- template_create(authors = c(\"Friedrich Ratzel\", \n \"Pau Vidal de la Blache\", \n \"Pau Vila\",\n \"Élisée Reclus\"))\nknitr::kable(cras_table)\n```\n\n| Authors | Conceptualization | Methodology | Software | Validation | Formal analysis | Investigation | Resources | Data curation | Writing - original draft | Writing - review & editing | Visualization | Supervision | Project administration | Funding acquisition |\n|:---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|\n| Friedrich Ratzel | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |\n| Pau Vidal de la Blache | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |\n| Pau Vila | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |\n| Élisée Reclus | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |\n\nAs you can see, the table is empty. So you must provide the information\nof who did what. You can use the `fix` function to fill the template\ndirectly in R:\n\n``` r\nfix(cras_table)\n```\n\nIf you wrote the template to a file, then you can read it back to R as\nfollows:\n\n``` r\ncras_table <- template_read(path_to_your_csv_file)\n```\n\nOnce the `cras_table` is populated, for instance:\n\n| Authors | Conceptualization | Methodology | Software | Validation | Formal analysis | Investigation | Resources | Data curation | Writing - original draft | Writing - review & editing | Visualization | Supervision | Project administration | Funding acquisition |\n|:---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|\n| Friedrich Ratzel | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |\n| Pau Vidal de la Blache | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 |\n| Pau Vila | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |\n| Élisée Reclus | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 |\n\nA text file can be generated following the CRediT author statement\nformat. Since `drop = TRUE` by default, the authors without contribution\nare removed from the statement, Pau Vila in this case.\n\n``` r\ntextfile <- tempfile()\n\ncras_write(cras_table, textfile, markdown = TRUE, quiet = TRUE)\n```\n\nIf you open the text file, you will find this:\n\n**Friedrich Ratzel:** Investigation, Resources, Data curation, Writing -\noriginal draft, Writing - review & editing, Supervision, Project\nadministration, Funding acquisition. **Pau Vidal de la Blache:** Formal\nanalysis, Investigation, Resources, Data curation, Supervision, Project\nadministration. **Élisée Reclus:** Conceptualization, Methodology,\nValidation, Data curation, Writing - review & editing, Project\nadministration.\n\n## Related packages\n\n- [tenzing](https://github.com/marton-balazs-kovacs/tenzing/): Tenzing,\n an easy-to-use web-based app, allows researchers to generate reports\n about the contribution of each team member on a project using CRediT,\n for insertion into their manuscripts and for publishers to potentially\n incorporate into article metadata.\n- [contribution](https://github.com/openbiox/contribution): The goal of\n contribution is to generate contribution table for credit assignment\n in a project.
