This[1] has got me thinking: with the shift from to [2], increasing [3] of academic outputs, and concepts such as [4] helping us to be transparent about the extent/scope of contributions, when do we start adding peer reviewers as contributors on updated versions of that their input has contributed to?

MDPIContributorship, Not Authorship: Use CRediT to Indicate Who Did WhatParticipation in the writing or revising of a manuscript is, according to many journal guidelines, necessary to be listed as an author of the resulting article. This is the traditional concept of authorship. But there are good reasons to shift to a contributorship model, under which it is not necessary to contribute to the writing or revision of a manuscript, and all those who make substantial contributions to a project are credited. Many journals and publishers have already taken steps in this direction, and further adoption will have several benefits. This article makes the case for continuing to move down that path. Use of a contributorship model should improve the ability of universities and funders to identify effective individual researchers and improving their ability to identify the right mix of researchers needed to advance modern science. Other benefits should include facilitating the formation of productive collaborations and the creation of important scientific tools and software. The CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) taxonomy is a machine-readable standard already incorporated into some journal management systems and it allows incremental transition toward contributorship.

Has anyone done this already? Or heard of it done?

@da5nsy i think in some cases this could make sense, but it comes with some constrains; what if the reviewer barely contributed or just agrees with the text? Is that enough to be added? What if they are looking to add more articles to their name and just make stuff up so they'll be added as a contributor?

I guess that could fix the peer review crisis where no one wants to review 😸
