Microattribution

A Microattribution ascribes a small scholarly contribution to a particular author.

Origin

The term was probably first used in a paper published in a Nature Genetics paper in March 2010. ^[1]

An example of the value of microattributions can be seen in the description of genetic variation. A paper published in Nature Genetics paper in March 2011 ^[2] concluded that microattribution demonstrably increased the reporting of human variants, leading to a comprehensive online resource for systematically describing human genetic variation.

Developments

A workshop session held at the Science Online London 2011 conference in September 2011 suggested other types of microattributions including:

Wikipedia updates
Software enhancements submitted to software repositories such as Guthub.
Twitter posts (tweets)
