They've already launched a petition you can sign to lend your weight. I just signed and hope you will too.

A bit of fun exercising my mind around DORA* and authorship policies:
While immensely helpful for a range of purposes, does the #ICMJE statement around author- & contributorship structurally limit our view as to what we look for when evaluating individual's contributions to research?

How much further do alternatives such as CRediT go?
