  1. Conceptualization
  2. Data curation
  3. Formal analysis – statistical techniques and data analysis
  4. Funding acquisition
  5. Investigation – research process
  6. Methodology – design and development
  7. Project administration – management and coordination
  8. Resources – supplying study materials
  9. Software – programming, design, and implementation
  10. Supervision and leadership role in planning
  11. Validation – verification
  12. Visualization – data presentation
