Feature: Include recommendations for authorship in guides

Our guides and checklists are very helpful for the writing process, what to include and what not to include, and how to write. I think it could be improved if we add some guidelines to who should be included as a coauthor vs. when to acknowledge them. For example, the conference abstracts checklist mentions authors opting in/out, but doesn't explicitly say how to choose/include coauthors. I think authorship can be tricky for new researchers to decide, and sometimes it isn't always super obvious.

I'm thinking something like https://casrai.org/credit/ could be a nice addition to our writing guides. Maybe we could link to this as a good practice in deciding coauthorship.

Actual Behavior

I couldn't find this information easily

How can this issue be closed?

This issue can be closed if we include some information on (co)authorship guidelines in our writing guides.

The previous link I used is not valid anymore. Instead we should use something like the CRediT taxonomy: https://credit.niso.org/
