CRediT Taxonomy

At the Revista de Investigación sobre Bibliotecas, Educación y Sociedad, we use the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT). It consists of 14 structured roles designed to represent the specific contributions made to the study by each author. These author roles must be submitted to RIBES along with the manuscript in a separate document. Below is a table displaying the role in English, its definition or explanation, and the corresponding roles in Spanish and Portuguese.
