How do I decide whether to credit someone as an author vs acknowledgement as a contributor?

Answer

The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors has defined criteria for two roles in the publication process: co-authors and contributors. These roles have differing levels of responsibility for the publication and provide different types of input to the final product. The ICJME authorship criteria will help you decide which level of recognition is appropriate for each person that worked on your article.
