[Esip-citationguidelines] Contribution vs Credit vs Authorship for software – Daniel S. Katz's blog

[Parsons, Mark]

Thoughts on credit from our friend Dan Katz.

I like how he works to separate the different levels of credit and more importantly:

"In the longer term, we need to stop using the term author as the means of recognizing all significant contributions, and possibly go to a movie-like system where we name contributors and explain their contributions, and where author would be one of many types of contribution.”

Something for us to consider.

cheers,
