## Contributor attribution
Before you publish your data you should have an open and honest conversation about who has contributed to the data collection and processing, and agree how these individuals will be recognised and attributed for their work. This need not be the same list of individuals who are authors on any manuscript which references your data, indeed this can be a valuable opportunity to recognise the contributions of those who do not traditionally receive authorship on journal manuscripts (for example project managers, software engineers or data stewards).

This is not necessarily just the list of authors on the manuscript! Indeed, this can be a valuable opportunity to recognise contributors who do not traditionally receive authorship on journal manuscripts (project managers, software engineers, data stewards, etc.).
Consider creating a [Contributor Roles Taxonomy - CRediT](https://credit.niso.org) statement and sharing this with your published data.[Tenzing](https://rollercoaster.shinyapps.io/tenzing/)is a useful tool for collecting contributor information and generating the CRediT statement.
One way to standardise contributor attributions on your proejcts is with [CRediT](https://credit.niso.org)(Contributor Roles Taxonomy). CRediT attributes a list of authors to a set of standardised roles (data curation, formal analysis, resoruces, etc.). [Many journals](https://credit.niso.org/adopters/) have adopted the CRediT system for managing author contributions in their submission piplines. In addition, you can use[Tenzing](https://rollercoaster.shinyapps.io/tenzing/)to generate your own CRediT statements. This may be particularly relevant if you are publishing non-traditional research outputs, such as data and code. Here is an example of what a CRediT statment looks like in a [Zenodo entry](https://zenodo.org/record/5826183#.Yo5THC2ZPs0).
Aim to include the [ORCID](https://orcid.org) of all your contributors in your published metadata, so contributions can be traced back to the individual.
