11. CRediT Author Contributions Statement

Starting from Issue No. 2 (106) of 2026, all manuscripts must include a separate “CRediT Author Contributions Statement”, prepared in accordance with the international Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT).

The purpose of using CRediT is to ensure transparency of authorship, accurate representation of each author's contribution, and prevention of unjustified inclusion or exclusion of individuals from the list of authors.

Authorship must be based solely on an individual's actual intellectual contribution to the research and manuscript preparation.

Individuals whose contributions do not meet the criteria for authorship should be acknowledged in the Acknowledgements section rather than included as authors.

Contributor Roles According to CRediT Taxonomy

Authors may use the following roles when preparing their statement:

• Conceptualization;
• Methodology;
• Software;
• Validation;
• Formal Analysis;
• Investigation;
• Resources;
• Data Curation;
• Writing – Original Draft;
• Writing – Review & Editing;
• Visualization;
• Supervision;
• Project Administration;
• Funding Acquisition.

Example

Ivanenko I.I.: Conceptualization, Methodology, Writing – Original Draft.

Petrenko P.P.: Data Curation, Formal Analysis, Visualization.

Sydorenko S.S.: Writing – Review & Editing, Supervision.

For a Single-Author Article

Ivanenko I.I.: Conceptualization, Methodology, Investigation, Formal Analysis, Writing – Original Draft, Writing – Review & Editing.

Equal Contribution

If two or more authors contributed equally to the research and manuscript preparation, this may be explicitly stated in the Author Contributions Statement.

Examples:

“Authors Ivanenko I.I. and Petrenko P.P. contributed equally to this research and publication.”

“All authors contributed equally to the conceptualization of the study, analysis of results, and preparation of the manuscript.”

In cases of equal contribution, authors must still specify their individual roles according to the CRediT Taxonomy.
