@nickreich we've added the authors (minus the consortium authorship) to the manuscript with the commits https://github.com/Infectious-Disease-Modeling-Hubs/hubEnsemblesManuscript/commit/b15891c1af722dedf1a9d04e59cb130fca2ea135 and https://github.com/Infectious-Disease-Modeling-Hubs/hubEnsemblesManuscript/commit/7bd3110d044059e93a75165839b2412eb4db0fd0. In terms of the package contributors, can you clarify how their names should be displayed or marked (since there's a lot of overlap in manuscript authors and package contributors)?
I'm not sure I fully understand your question. I was imagining that anyone who was not already listed as a package author/contributor could be added to the package in a ctb
role.
I guess I was confused where exactly these contributors are supposed to be listed. Is this issue saying the package contributors should be added to the hubEnsembles
description file, the vignette that will live in the hubEnsembles, the actual manuscript in the hubEnsemblesManuscript repo, or some combination of the above? If they should be added somewhere in the vignette and/or manuscript, is there a specific way the contributor vs author designation should be expressed? (I think your most recent comment means contributors should be added to the description file, but I just want to get confirmation on this)
Also, is there a specific way a consortium authorship should be formatted? I found a resource from Nature, but I don't know if stats or software papers follow a different convention https://www.nature.com/documents/nr-consortia-formatting.pdf
PACKAGE: Yes, my comment above was specifically about how to list contributors to the package. I think I am the only person who has made a commit to the package who has not been listed as a contributor. I have filed a new issue for that request.
VIGNETTE/MANUSCRIPT: In terms of authors on the vignette and manuscript, I would suggest that we have the same authorship list on both, unless there is a clear way in which the contributions for the slightly different content are different from one another. I see the latest draft of the manuscript has this authorship "masthead" My suggestions would be to follow something like bullet point three in the conventions listed at the link @eahowerton posted above
(3) Single consortium and individual authors in the main author list (all consortium members have authorship status) with some of the individual authors also included within the consortium. I note that this differs slightly from what exists currently in the manuscript, and I would suggest following these guidelines (also from @eahowerton 's doc)
So I think the specific to-dos here would be to
Noting also that I checked the JSS style guide and they had no specific guidance on consortia authorship lists.
Depending on how the authorship shakes out, I'd recommend adding the authors directly to the HTML vignette as well as the package contributors.
