These are the roles of the project team according to the CRediT framework (a ‘high-level taxonomy, including 14 roles, that can be used to represent the roles typically played by contributors to research outputs’).
- Jo Tucker was responsible for the project’s conceptualisation, the methodology and formal analysis of the text and images of the Chronicle, and the writing and review of the original documentation. She was also responsible for the funding acquisition and project administration (with continuous support from the project coordinators), and the supervision and mentorship of the Research assistant.
- Luca Guariento was primarily responsible for the data curation, software design and implementation, and the methodology and visualisation required for the digital edition. He also contributed to the supervision and mentorship of the Research assistant.
- Vivien Williams was responsible for the formal analysis and investigation of the text, in particular through the TEI-XML mark-up and decisions surrounding its implementation (supported by Guariento and Tucker).
- Dauvit Broun and John Reuben Davies each produced portions of the transcription and translation, and were therefore responsible for its investigation, formal analysis, and writing original materials.
- Shannon Llewellyn supported the funding acquisition and project administration.
- Rachel Macdonald supported the project administration.
- Holly Croson-Brown supported the project administration.
- Alison Wiggins read various drafts of the application and other materials, meaning she contributed to the funding acquisition and project conceptualisation. She also acted as mentor to the PI.
- The University of Glasgow’s College of Arts & Humanities was responsible for supplying resources, including the provision of computing resources.
