About the Author Portal Authors Contribution XML File

When CRediT collection is enabled for a journal and authors supply the relevant information, the Author Portal Authors Contribution XML file is included in the submission package delivered by Author Portal to S1M.

To view this file in S1M, go to a submission's Manuscript Files. If the journal has CRediT collection enabled and the author has provided the relevant information, a file named Author Portal_Author_Contributions.xml will be included in the submission package.

You can click on the file name to download it and view its contents. Below is an example of such a file:

In the file, the information for each contributor is included in a contrib-group/contrib element.

In S1M, you can view author CRediT roles for a submission in the submission's Manuscript Information section, under Internal Use Only and Author Contribution Statement (CRediT).
