duecredit is being conceived to address the problem of inadequate citation of scientific software and methods, and limited visibility of donation requests for open-source software.
It provides a simple framework (at the moment for Python only) to embed publication or other references in the original code so they are automatically collected and reported to the user at the necessary level of reference detail, i.e. only references for actually used functionality will be presented back if software provides multiple citeable implementations.
Given that we've had multiple discussions on citation/credit for software and data, this looks interesting. @OCNS/software-wg : what do you think, would you be interested in learning about Duecredit?
