+    `roles`
+    :   a list of dictionaries describing the author's role(s).
+        Each role is added as an [`<role>`] element to
+        the author's [`<contrib>`] element. The following examples
+        illustrate:
+
+        An ad-hoc role:
+
+        ```yaml
+        roles:
+          - name: Dolphin Catcher
+        ```
+
+        A role specified with CRediT.
+
+        ```yaml
+        roles:
+          - credit: writing-review-editing
+        ```
+
+        The `credit-name` is automatically looked up from
+        the CRediT taxonomy, but you can also specify it
+        yourself:
+
+        ```yaml
+        roles:
+          - credit: writing-review-editing
+            credit-name: Writing – review & editing
+        ```
+
+        A role specified with CRediT, including an
+        optional degree of contribution. Note that
+        specifying the degree only is allowed when
+        using CRediT roles and not ad-hoc roles.
+
+        ```yaml
+        roles:
+          - credit: writing-review-editing
+            degree: Lead
+        ```
+
+        A role specified with CRediT with a label override,
+        useful for internationalization:
+
+        ```yaml
+        roles:
+          - credit: writing-review-editing
+            name: Escrita – revisão e edição
+        ```
+
+        The value for `credit` and `credit-name`
+        must be from one of the 14 terms from the
+        Contribution Role Taxonomy (CRediT):
+
+        | `credit`                 | `credit-name`              |
+        |--------------------------|----------------------------|

+        | `formal-analysis`        | Formal analysis            |
+        | `funding-acquisition`    | Funding acquisition        |
+        | `investigation`          | Investigation              |
+        | `methodology`            | Methodology                |
+        | `project-administration` | Project administration     |
+        | `resources`              | Resources                  |
+        | `software`               | Software                   |
+        | `supervision`            | Supervision                |
+        | `validation`             | Validation                 |
+        | `visualization`          | Visualization              |

+        | `writing-review-editing` | Writing – review & editing |

+        JATS suggests in [`<degree-contribution>`] to use one of
+        the following three values when specifying the degree of
+        contribution:
+
+        1. `Lead`
+        2. `Equal`
+        3. `Supporting`
