contribution attributs

[jcolomb]

Adding contributors who are not authors:

1. categories of contribution beside authors

There is no list or reserved vocabulary for this (yet), jats just gives some examples: https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.1/attribute/contrib-type.html

2. yaml implementation

-  name: Nicole Vasilevsky
    ...
    is_author: yes
    is_corresponding_author: no

OR

-  name: Nicole Vasilevsky
    ...
    contributor-type: author, translator, research-assistant, editor, ...
    is_corresponding_author: no

3. manubot output

in the xml: using contrib-type attibute like jats4r recommendation, or using a entry (easier to implement, may make more sense)

any way to add contributors who are not authors something like Do you want the translators to show up on the manuscript, like we did for translators at https://greenelab.github.io/scihub-manuscript-es/#traductores?

For now we could just create another field in the YAML for contributors below authors if we have this situation. Then I can deal with making it show up in the manuscript later.

For this manuscript, do we have contributors who are not authors? The easiest solution is often just to write an acknowledgements section like this example. I see the appeal of putting non-contributing authors into metadata.yaml for the best structured metadata, although I'd say we should hold off spending a lot of time on this until we actually need it.

To not hold things up, I'd do the following for now if we have non-contributing authors:

authors:
  - name: Nicole Vasilevsky
    orcid: 0000-0001-5208-3432
  - name: Barbara Kern
    orcid: 0000-0002-1184-911X
contributors:
  - name: Some contributor
    orcid: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX
translators:  # Not relevant for this manuscript
  - name: Some translator
    orcid: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXX

I don't think this is the best long term solution, but should be sufficient for this manuscript. I am interested in better longterm solutions that we could implement as part of https://github.com/manubot/manubot/issues/187.
