+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.
