CRediT Author Contribution Statement

Jurnal Sosial Humaniora dan Pendidikan (EDUCATION) recognizes the importance of equitable attribution and transparent acknowledgment of scholarly contributions in collaborative research.

To promote responsible authorship practices, the journal follows the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT), which provides a standardized framework for describing the contributions of individuals involved in educational, social, and humanities research.

The contribution statement forms part of the journal's commitment to academic integrity, collaborative accountability, and fair recognition of intellectual work.

1. Recognized Contributor Roles

EDUCATION uses the 14 CRediT roles to identify individual contributions across research design, fieldwork, analysis, academic writing, and project coordination.

CRediT Role	Application in Educational and Social Research
Conceptualization	Development of research questions, theoretical perspectives, and conceptual frameworks.
Methodology	Design of educational interventions, qualitative or quantitative approaches, and research procedures.
Software	Development or implementation of software and digital tools used in the research.
Validation	Verification of research instruments, analytical procedures, and interpretation accuracy.
Formal Analysis	Statistical analysis, qualitative analytical procedures, and other systematic forms of data interpretation.
Investigation	Conducting interviews, observations, surveys, educational interventions, or field research.
Resources	Provision of research materials, educational resources, instruments, or institutional support.
Data Curation	Organization, anonymization, documentation, and management of research data.
Writing – Original Draft	Preparation of the initial manuscript, including research arguments and presentation of findings.
Writing – Review & Editing	Critical review, revision, and intellectual refinement of the manuscript.
Visualization	Preparation of charts, conceptual diagrams, research models, and visual presentation of findings.
Supervision	Academic mentoring, research supervision, and scholarly guidance.
Project Administration	Coordination of research activities, fieldwork, and administrative research procedures.

2. Principles of Contribution Attribution

Author contributions must be declared honestly and reflect the work actually performed.

EDUCATION recognizes that educational and social research frequently involves collaborative activities, including fieldwork, interviews, classroom observations, community engagement, and qualitative interpretation.

These activities should be attributed accurately to the individuals responsible for them, using the relevant CRediT roles.

A contributor may be assigned multiple roles, and a particular role may be shared by several authors.

Contribution statements must be reviewed and approved by all listed authors before submission.

3. Author Contribution Statement

Authors must include a contribution declaration using the format below:

CRediT Author Contribution Statement

• Author 1: Conceptualization, Methodology, Investigation, Writing – Original Draft.

• Author 2: Investigation, Data Curation, Formal Analysis, Visualization.

• Author 3: Validation, Supervision, Writing – Review & Editing, Project Administration.

This example is provided for formatting purposes only. Actual declarations must reflect each author's genuine scholarly contributions.

4. Relationship Between Contributions and Authorship

The CRediT taxonomy identifies research contributions but does not independently establish authorship eligibility.

All individuals listed as authors must satisfy the journal's Authorship Criteria, approve the manuscript, and accept responsibility for their contributions.

Teachers, research assistants, community representatives, and institutional personnel who provide valuable assistance but do not meet the authorship requirements may be acknowledged with appropriate permission.

Participation as a research respondent or interviewee does not itself constitute authorship.

AI tools must not be listed as authors.

5. Transparency and Author Responsibility

The corresponding author must ensure that contribution statements are complete, accurate, and agreed upon by all co-authors.

Any proposed changes to declared contributions must be communicated to the editorial team and supported by appropriate justification.

Disputes concerning contribution attribution or authorship must be addressed in accordance with the journal's Authorship Criteria and publication ethics policies.

Through the implementation of CRediT, EDUCATION promotes fair academic recognition, responsible collaboration, and transparency in the publication of educational, social, and humanities research.
