Author contribution

 

Psicumex Journal uses CRediT taxonomy (Contributor Role Taxonomy) to ensure transparency and provide detailed information about each author’s individual contribution to the work. The author responsible for submitting the work must include the “Authors' contributions” note describing the role of each author using the Contributor Role Taxonomy (CRediT taxonomy). The fourteen roles are described below. It is not necessary to use all of them, but rather the one that best describes author contribution. If there is only one author in the work, it is not necessary to describe all the CRediT roles, but rather to select the most relevant ones. If the information is not provided at the time of submission, it can be provided during the review process. The final version of the author’s contribution note will be published in the final article and should reflect the contributions of each author.
