Changelog • tenzing

tenzing (development version)

The contributor statement (CRediT) output no longer shows nonsense validation errors (missing order, surname and firstname for an empty “row 1”) when a contributor’s Author/Acknowledgee value is blank. Such contributors are left out and reported by name instead.
The title page, funding statement, conflict of interest statement and YAML outputs no longer include contributors marked “Acknowledgment only”.
The JATS XML output no longer fails for tables without the Author/Acknowledgee column (all contributors are treated as authors).

The title page, YAML and JATS XML outputs now warn when someone marked as an acknowledgee is also ticked as corresponding author, since only authors are listed as corresponding.
All outputs that separate authors from acknowledgees (title page, funding, conflict of interest, YAML, contributor statement and JATS XML) now warn which contributors were left out because their Author/Acknowledgee value is blank or not recognized, instead of dropping them silently.
Uploading a table without the optional Author/Acknowledgee column now shows a (non-blocking) warning in the table check. The repeated per-output warnings about the missing column were removed.
The “Show acknowledgements” toggle of the JATS XML output is hidden when the table has no Author/Acknowledgee column.

Fixed a rendering bug with the spreadsheet view module
Meaningful error message regarding “Conflict of interest” - “Declares” column renaming

Added the option to include acknowledged contributors and those who do not want to be named in the paper to the contributors table (see our blog post about the Acknowledgment features)
Contributor statements are now generated separately for acknowledgees and authors.
Acknowledgees are now listed in the JATS 1.3 XML output with affiliations and CRediT roles.
Funding and conflict of interest statements are now included in the JATS 1.3 XML output.
Full article JATS 1.3 XML can optionally be generated with mock data so the output can be validated with the J4R Validator: https://jats4r-validator.niso.org/.
ORCID iDs can be included with an unauthorized ORCID badge (with hyperlink) or as plain text in the contributors statement, title page, and JATS 1.3 XML outputs.
Added additional conditional validators for the new outputs.
Added additional validation helpers for creating and exploring validation config files.
Added more opportunities to customize the outputs with toggle switches.

We changed the name of the input table from infosheet to contributors_table throughout the R package and the Shiny application. Functions containing the term infosheet are now deprecated.

New output option is added. The new option allows users to generate the funding acknowledgment section of their manuscript. For this output it is possible to use initials or full names.
For the contributor list output option now it is possible to use initials instead of full names. Users can also choose to list the contributions according to the CRediT taxonomy after the names of the contributors.
tenzing now allows users to read the contributors_table directly from Google sheets by providing the share URL of the spreadsheet.
The app allows users to review their contributors_table within the app even if it does not pass the validation checks.
There are two new columns added to the contributors_table template: ORCiD iD and Funding.
The name of the CRediT taxonomy roles in the contributors_table are now fixed as well their URLs directing to each role in the taxonomy’s documentation.
The contributors_table template is now empty. However, a filled out example template is added to the package as an external datafile. See vignette("local_use") on how to load this example file.
The title page output option now allows users to add multiple first authors and prints an additional text listing the names of the shared first authors and the email address of the corresponding author.
The app got a new, cleaner look.

The functions that transform full names to initials are updated and now can handle most names correctly.
The oxford comma is now added to the output options.
