An article published by Nature in the past week<\/a> summarises a new initiative that uses colourful \u2018digital badges\u2019<\/a> to denote different contributions that authors made to a paper. This system aims to simplify the “often-fraught business of detailing who did what on a scientific paper”.<\/p>\n

The article states: “On 28\u00a0September, the BioMed Central journal GigaScience <\/i>added the badges to two of its published<\/a> papers<\/a>. Readers can click to see co-authors listed under multiple badges; the information is also coded in a format that allows computer programs to extract it, which makes it linkable to other online author profiles (such as the researcher identification system ORCID). Another London-based publisher, Ubiquity Press, is also adding badges to two of its published<\/a> papers<\/a>.”.<\/p>\n

The project sets 14 types of contributorship from writing and data visualisation to data curation and project management. (You can read more about this project and its other implementations here<\/a> and here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

An overview of what the badges will look like is shown below.<\/p>\n
