This post was distilled from a talk that I gave at Schloss Dagstuhl's seminar 25831 "Open Scholarly Information Systems: Status Quo, Challenges, Opportunities". As the video recording mentions, the slides for the talk are openly shared at http://soc-n.us/250916-dagstuhl . Many of us may be familiar with the Dagstuhl seminar series;
This week the Rogue Scholar science blog archive has launched a new feature: contributor roles. Blog posts can now have contributor roles attached to each author, and this information is shown in the Rogue Scholar and Crossref metadata. We have discussed contributor roles for blog posts for several months, in particular with the ropensci team.
