+# Micropublications
+
+## Submission Form
+We require all teams to submit a micropublication at the end of the program.
+
+### Deadline
+3 March, 2025
+
+## Submission guidelines
+
+The form requires specific components in your micropublication submission. Here are some guidelines for each of the components:
+
+### Title
+A single line which provides the gist of the research conducted
+
+### Type of research
+Each micropublication should provide evidence to support **one** specific:
+  - claim,
+  - observation, or
+  - method
+
+Please choose one of the above 3 options.
+
+### A summary for the general public
+All teams are expected to submit a short summary of their research that can be easily grasped by a non-scientific audience. 
+  - This summary will be shared on our website and social media to make your research more accessible and to help your research have greater *impact*. 
+  - You are welcome to submit a text summary (~150 words) or choose a more creative format (such as videos, comics, poems, songs) to communicate your research findings. The public summary should be easy to understand irrespective of which format you choose.
+  - Format : please avoid using proprietary data formats for your creative submissions.
+
+
+  - For inspiration, checkout some of the following resources:
+    - [Cartoonists tackling climate change through webcomics](https://www.dw.com/en/cartoonists-tackling-climate-change-through-webcomics/a-63499432)
+    - [Rajan lab comics](https://www.rajanlab.com/comics)
+    - [Dance your PhD](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dance+your+phd)
+
+### Author Contributions
+We request all the teams to track author contributions using the [CRediT taxonomy](https://credit.niso.org). Click on each of the 14 contributor roles to see what they constitute. We discourage giving credits to a scholar (including any former teaching assistant) or mentor if they haven't contributed to the project at all. 
+- Format: .csv, .ods, or .tsv
+- Templates: We are providing 2 templates to track author contributions throughout the program. **Each team is required to submit author contributions in one of these 2 formats.** Download one of the following templates for your team:
+  - [CISP_contributors_table_template](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/140bNO83-GkOP1SYXWLpZmY27a5wxtj97gOR-5CaMXDQ/edit?usp=sharing): This template was adopted from [tenzing.club](https://contributorshipcollaboration.github.io/projects/tenzingclub). 
+  - [CISP_contributors_table_template_granular](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fw34ZjKaZQ9iv6ld6YT1kZP2uyg0CbmJIZdM88tb07E/edit?usp=sharing): This is a replica of the previous template with more granularity added for each role. There are 2 types of contributions to choose from:
+    - Lead: If a scholar has made major contributions in a role, choose this option. Multiple people can have this role.
+    - Support: If a scholar has primarily provided support and feedback or helped with brainstorming but hasn't made major contributions to the role, choose this option.
+  - Feel free to leave blanks for Roles that aren't relevant for your team.
+  - Please use the Notes column to let us know of any specifics that aren't captured in the 14 categories, such as additional roles or other degrees of contribution.
+
+### Main Text
+Based on the type of research, please elaborate on the single claim, observation, or method. Think of this section as the combination of the Methods, Results, and Discussion sections of a journal-style research article. 
+  - Word limit: 1500 words
