It is not sufficient to consider scholarship simply from the perspective of papers written, citations garnered, and grant dollars awarded. Biocurators contribute to research and scholarship in ways that are not always traditionally recognized. We need a more nuanced characterization and contextualization of contributions of varying types and intensities that are critical to power research. Unfortunately, little infrastructure exists to identify, aggregate, present, and understand the impact of these non-traditional contributions, such as software development or biocuration. Moreover, these challenges are technical as well as social and require an approach that assimilates cultural perspectives for investigators and organizations, alike.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here we announce the release of the <strong>Contributor Role Ontology (CRO)<\/strong>, an open-source, OBO Foundry ontology that is a structured representation of contribution roles, built on the CRedIT taxonomy, for use in research information systems and designed for crediting persons or organizations.
