As passionate advocates for the dissemination of valuable tools in academic publishing, in East European Law Research Center we believe that insights into the creation and implementation of CRediT would be incredibly valuable for our members. Given the importance of clear authorship attribution and recognition in academic publishing, we are eager to explore how CRediT can enhance our understanding and utilization of contributor roles.

We had aim to cover such issues as the importance of clear authorship, the implementation of CRediT in academic publishing, and its potential benefits for researchers and publishers alike.
