CRediT Author Statement

Terra Alimentaria utilizes the CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) framework to recognize individual author contributions, reduce authorship disputes, and facilitate collaboration. CRediT offers authors the opportunity to share an accurate and detailed description of their diverse contributions to the published work.

  • The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that the descriptions are accurate and agreed upon by all authors.
  • The role(s) of all authors should be listed using the relevant categories below.
  • Authors may have contributed in multiple roles.
  • CRediT in no way changes the journal’s criteria to qualify for authorship.

CRediT statements should be provided during the submission process and will appear above the acknowledgment section of the published manuscript.
