[jats-list] How to tag author contributions (JATS 1.*, archiving)

["Mary Seligy mary.seligy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

I did look through the list archives for an answer on this first, but didn't
find one. Apologies in advance in case it is there and I've just missed it.

For an upcoming new journal, we are going to be capturing each author's
contribution(s) to the work. By 'contribution', I mean things like 'conception
and design of experiments', 'analysis and interpretation of data', etc.

I was looking at the tag library documentation, and I see a few possible ways
of tagging contributions, but I don't see anything that, to me, clearly says
'do it this way'. Here are the three most reasonable ways I can see:

1. Use <author-comment> in <contrib>, with @content-type="contribution"

2. Use a footnote on each author and contain within <author-notes>, with
@fn-type="contribution"

3. Use <role> in <contrib>, with @content-type="contribution"

What say you all? Is one of the above more tempting than any of the others, or
is there some fourth thing that would be best?

Thanks very much,

Mary
