(Press-News.org) CHICAGO, IL (June 13, 2023) — Scholastica, a leading academic journal publishing software provider, has announced CRediT Taxonomy support across its products and services in line with ANSI/NISO guidelines. The CRediT Taxonomy, which consists of 14 research contributor roles, helps facilitate transparency around research development processes and ensure proper acknowledgment of all contributors.
With the new CRediT implementation, journals using Scholastica's peer review system can request to have CRediT fields added to their submission form, and those using Scholastica's production service and/or open access publishing platform will now see the option to input CRediT details when submitting typesetting requests and preparing articles for publication.
Scholastica generates JATS XML bibliographic metadata, including CRediT contribution inputs, for articles submitted via its peer review system, typeset by its production service, and/or hosted via its OA publishing platform and adds CRediT details to the body of articles typeset by its production service. Journals subscribed to multiple Scholastica products can import metadata, including CRediT inputs, from one solution to another to save time.
“Scholastica has been following CRediT since the concept emerged in 2014. When CRediT became an ANSI/NISO standard last year, we knew we wanted to implement it for our users,” said Scholastica CEO and Co-Founder Brian Cody. “CRediT is key to ensuring all research contributions are reflected and recognized in the increasingly complex and interconnected research world to promote transparency, trust, diversity, equity, and inclusion.”
Speaking to Scholastica's CRediT implementation, NISO CRediT Standing Committee Co-Chair Liz Allen, who is Director of Strategic Initiatives at F1000, said, "it's great to see Scholastica join the many journal publishers and software providers using CRediT to integrate contributor roles into their workflows. CRediT can help to make a real difference in how we understand and value all the essential contributions to research beyond traditional author lists."
The CRediT implementation, which is available to Scholastica users at no additional cost, is part of Scholastica's efforts to enable scholarly organizations to publish standards-aligned journals with rich metadata as efficiently and affordably as possible so they can further their missions.

The benefits of Anti-CD69 antibodies for future cancer therapies
2023-06-13
CD8+ T cells, a vital component of the immune system that provides immunity against cancer, have been the focal point of anti-cancer therapies. Recent studies have identified two major subpopulations of these cells present within the tumor—the stem-like cells that do not have anti-tumor activity, and the terminally differentiated CD8+ T cells, which are generated from the stem-like cells and have cytotoxic function on tumor cells. Tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) have been found to be the primary site for the presence of these cells. However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for the generation of stem-like cells into terminally differentiated ...
Intraocular corticosteroids best for treating complications of chronic inflammatory eye condition
2023-06-13
Repeat treatment with corticosteroid injections improved vision in people with persistent or recurrent uveitis-related macular edema better than two other therapies, according to results from a clinical trial funded by the National Eye Institute (NEI). Compared with methotrexate or ranibizumab intravitreal (in-the-eye) injections, the corticosteroid treatment achieved greater reductions in retinal swelling and was the only therapy in the study that improved vision. The report was published today in the journal Ophthalmology. NEI is part of the National Institutes of Health.
“Prior to this study, we didn’t know the best treatment for persistent or recurrent macular edema, a major ...

PFAS, PFAS everywhere: how pristine are laboratory materials?
2023-06-13
How do you study the effects of exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), when it is in everything?! To study the effect of a chemical, toxicologists typically expose animals to various doses of the chemical over a period of time so that they could then study the dose versus effect relationship. Such toxicology studies often employee several types of “blanks” for quality control. Blanks are experiments where the test animals are not given any dose of the chemical being studied (sort of like a placebo in human drug ...

New approach opens avenue to investigate element distribution and transport pathways in plants
2023-06-13
Plant roots play a critical role in taking up, selecting, enriching and retaining a range of different mineral elements thereby supplying distant plant tissues with nutrients while sequestering excessive amounts of metals. To execute such element-specific functions, a range of ion transporters present at roots mediate the uptake, efflux and intracellular compartmentalization of different mineral elements. Most ion transporters show characteristic tissue and cell type-specific localization patterns, which can be altered in response to internal signalling or external cues. To fully ...
The best drug combos to prevent COVID recurrence
2023-06-13
A groundbreaking machine-learning study has unmasked the best drug combinations to prevent COVID-19 from coming back after an initial infection. It turns out these combos are not the same for every patient.
Using real-world data from a hospital in China, the UC Riverside-led study found that individual characteristics, including age, weight, and additional illness determine which drug combinations most effectively reduce recurrence rates. This finding has been published in the journal Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence.
That the data came from China is significant for two reasons. First, when patients are treated for COVID-19 in the U.S, it is ...
