We (https://contributorshipcollaboration.github.io/) work on shifting science from traditional authorship to contributorship. Our blog is at https://contributorshipcollaboration.github.io/blog/ . We created tenzing, a free and #opensource tool (https://tenzing.club) that helps researchers report who did what in their journal articles.
You can donate at http://opencollective.com/tenzing . Posts mostly by Alex Holcombe, [email protected]

Someday we'll have acknowledgment citation counts and we can better recognize those who are particularly collegial. The image shows the most frequently-acknowledged people in the journal Psychological Review up to 1999 (Cronin, Shaw, and La Barre, 2003) .
If you're interested in our Acknowledgments projects (been skeeting about them a bit previously) you can get on our list with this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf-rDiIkuHZFIFEI1WHiFNp28YXE5ImxuizHle-2GoGt-qO0g/viewform?usp=header

To improve global crediting of researchers, we translated CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) into a few dozen languages. Global coverage is visualized by showing in green each country with an official language that we have a translation for (dark green is English, light green other languages). https://contributorshipcollaboration.github.io/projects/translation/translations

Have created this draft logo for our translation project. Please let me know, are any of the characters I picked associated with anything offensive or otherwise untoward in any language you know?

It looks like we are helping dozens of research teams each month. 😀​

The graph shows usage of tenzing.club each month, using not website visits but the higher-threshold criterion of a visitor clicking on "Show author contributions text" after uploading author information. That happens >40 times a month.

We didn't start using this (privacy-aware) tracker, Matomo, until March, so the growth before April is due to lack of tracking. Thanks to UKRN for the grant that we spent partially on the Matomo membership!

Great talk by Tanya Brown of Cogitate at the Big Team Science conference, including a nice shout-out to the usefulness of our tool tenzing.club

Now that we've been funded, we had our first call with PKP to get started implementing CRediT at OJS! Thanks to those who let us know that you could use this facility at your journals.

11 years ago the Higgs Boson discovery paper was published. Here are all the 5,154 authors. (From Facebook, Fermat's Theorem page)

Anyone doing any usage tracking with their Shiny app?
Ours is hosted by shinyapps.io and we added Matomo (like Google Analytics but privacy-oriented) javascript code but it gives very weird behavior, including missing most hits to our website.

1. Reproducibility is an opportunity, not a crisis;
2. Epistemic diversity (variation across modes of knowledge production and socio-technical
contexts) must be centred;
3. Evidence must be systematised for informed policy across contexts;
4. Action must be targeted holistically to boost capacity at all levels.
