Before submission
One small, accountable final pass.
Does Declare decide who is an author?+
No. Your research team supplies the author list. Declare maps the described work to CRediT roles; it does not make authorship decisions.
What happens when a contribution is vague?+
It stays marked as needing clarification. Declare does not force a role when the evidence is not specific enough.
Are funding and conflicts treated as contributor roles?+
No. They are reviewed separately and only appear in their own publication statements.
How does the manuscript step work?+
After you approve the statements, SuperDocs proposes a document edit. You can inspect, approve or reject it before exporting the finished file.
