在当前的评审机制下，论文的第一作者和通讯作者的贡献才会被科研管理者认可。于是乎，某些领域的论文索性将学生全部标记为共同第一作者，导师全部标记为共同通讯作者，甚至有人在论文接收时也不忘再送几个人情。论文署名如何做到顺序有据可依、个体贡献透明化，可以公开给作者的信息是：嵌入NST投稿系统的CRediT已经在对您的行为进行记录了。
CRediT （Contributor Roles Taxonomy）即投稿人/作者角色分类法 [贡献者角色分类法*]，由美国国家信息标准组织（NISO）主导制定。该标准将论文作者贡献分为14种，力求凸显每一位作者在科学研究至学术论文出版全过程中的工作及贡献。

目前已经有很多家高水平期刊出版机构在出版物中使用了CRediT系统，设计了标准格式，要求作者按照这14个类别填报公示作者的贡献。在投稿论文中呈报作者角色时，每位作者可以承担多个角色。（然而，在这14类角色中，并不是每一类角色都必须有人来承担。）
