Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Once upon a time, there were two neighboring kingdoms inhabited by the most bizarre creatures one could think of. [[Continue ->c1.2]] <img src="map.png" width="55%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen The south was dominated by the kingdom of scholars. [[Continue ->c1.3]] <img src="scholar.png" width="50%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen As they all claimed to know what the world keeps together on its inner core, they loved nothing more than disputing on their angle of truth. And with every dispute they fought, they added another level to their graceful ivory towers. [[Continue ->c1.4]] <img src="scholar.png" width="50%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen But it is known that building houses of any sort requires tools and that even the sharpest mind cannot bend raw materials with pure will power only. [[Continue ->c1.5]] <img src="mountains.png" width="80%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Tools of quality were forged in the neighboring kingdom of software craftsmen. This kingdom was inhabited by incredibly strong creatures. In large teams, they crafted the most complex tools on open fires without ever getting tired or exhausted. [[Continue ->c1.6]] <img src="craftsman.png" width="70%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen The kingdom of software craftsmen was flourishing and they openly shared their software tools with any creature that could use or reuse them. All they asked for in return was a sign of appreciation. [[Continue ->c1.7]] <img src="robots.png" width="65%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Signs of appreciation were commonly paid in tokens of gratitude, which we commonly know today as software citations. The tokens had to be passed to the kingdom of software craftsmen whenever one of their tools was used in the process of creation. [[Continue ->c1.8]] <img src="robots.png" width="60%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen But the transaction was not as simple for the scholars, as the tokens could not be passed directly to the software craftsmen. Both kingdoms were separated by an impassable misty mountain chain. [[Continue ->c1.9]] <img src="mountains.png" width="80%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Scholars who were willing to transact their gratitude had to face a challenging journey around the misty mountain chain. Beyond the two civilized kingdoms, the land was still wild, and it was said that the old magic still existed there in the shadows. [[Continue ->c1.10]] <img src="map.png" width="50%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen As the path was too dangerous to walk all the way around the mountains, a bank was established to deal with all necessary transactions. The discovery system bank collected tokens of gratitude in safe boxes, which qualified to be findable and accessible for the software craftsmen. [[Continue ->c2.0]] <img src="bank.png" width="70%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen All tokens from the winter were safely stored into a small sack and with the first sunlight, the apprentice gathered all his courage and started his journey to discovery bank. [[Continue ->c2.2]] <img src="tokens.png" width="70%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen After a long winter, the kingdom of noble scholars was humming as a bee stock. The graceful ivory towers were glowing in the early sunbursts of spring and the scholars decided that it was just the perfect day to send one of their apprentices to discovery system island for the payment of tokens of gratitude. [[Continue ->c2.1]] <img src="tokens.png" width="70%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen You enter the barely visible path into the shiver forest of scholarly writing. It keeps turning around and after hours of walking in circles, the path suddenly ends at the edge of the kingdom of noble scholars. You are back home, as it was certainly the wisest not to dare the journey and keep gratitude only for yourself without even make an effort.

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Your journey ends here as you did decide to follow the path of scholarly tradition and did not dare to deliver the tokens of gratitude to the software craftsmen.

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Your journey ends here as you did not dare to actually deliver the tokens to the bank. The wind carried the names with it and they finally even reached publisher swamp. But as publisher swamp was not known to be a place for a breezing of fresh air, the names faded with the wind and never made it to the discovery system bank. Giving credit by full text mentions will not be trackable by discovery systems. [[Return to the parting of ways ->c2.8]] |cloaked)[None of the paths seem right? Certainly.

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen The old oaks stood silent as you gasped a first look at the end of the forest. But all the sudden the mayfly sank down, for it was a creature that was only meant to live for the time span of a day. And as the daylight was fading, life was running out of its body. It kept falling until it was fully swallowed by the surrounding darkness. Its body was rotting away quickly and could provide you guidance through the shiver forest never more. [[Continue ->mayfly1.3]] <img src="shiverforest.png" width="65%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Your surrounding is so dark and eerie that you cannot seem to remember in what direction you have to walk. You wander around, deeply scared of all the shadows. The friendly oak trees seem to have turned into monstrosities and finally your fear let you stumble. The tokens of gratitude fall on the ground, unreachable to your paws. They will remain in the shiver forest forever and never reach discovery system island. The loneliness of the forest embraces you with its dark claws and will never let go of you again. [[Continue ->mayfly1.4]] <img src="mayflydeath.png" width="45%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Your journey ends here as your link was not persistent and rotted away before you escaped the shiver forest of scholarly writing.

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen But by the time you remember the old stories, you are getting aware of the bitter endings. Too late. The moment you want to turn around, the glowing light of the Jackalope was fading out and suddenly you find yourself in complete darkness that you cannot seem to escape from. Your resolver mislead you. [[Continue ->pid1.3]] <img src="jackelope.png" width="55%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Your journey ends here. You had good intentions and decided to follow a guiding spirit with great persistence. But you did not know better and followed an illusion based on whole stories written by others. Citations to persistent identifiers of research publications instead of citing the software directly will not be tracked by discovery systems and credit never be assigned.

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Only the Wolpertinger remained as it was keen enough to keep being patient. The apprentice walked towards the wicked earth spirit. The light of the Wolpertinger vanished and resolved to a space a couple of steps ahead. The apprentice followed the flickering illusion and after he had taken many steps through the darkness of the forest without being harmed, he finally lost his fear as he realized that this resolver was of great persistence. [[Continue ->c2.11]] <img src="wolpertingerpath.png" width="50%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen After many hours of walking, the amount of trees thinned out. And all of the sudden, the apprentice stood on a light and sunny grass land. He escaped the shiver forest of scholarly writing. Soon, he realized the roaring sound of a torrential river. Three bridges of different nature rose up in the distance. [[Continue ->c3.0]] <img src="endofforest.png" width="70%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen The river between the shiver forest of scholarly writing and publisher swamp was large and wild. Its roaring sound was as loud as thunder, warning unaware wanderers of the river's power to take lives, for it was not meant to be easy to pass between the shiver forest of scholarly writing and publisher swamp without any means of control. [[Continue ->c3.1]] <img src="bridges.png" width="70%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen So it happened on this very day that the eyes of the apprentice caught sight of three grotesque appearances guiding three bridges. The bridge on the left side was beautiful to look at. It was made from shiny gray marble stone, standing solid and powerful against the fierce strikes of the river's waves. Each stone of the bridge was carefully brought from the mountains on the shoulders of giants. [[Continue ->c3.3]] <img src="bridges.png" width="65%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen You surely are an apprentice of a certain life style and choose the extravagant bricks. As your life depends on it, clearly nothing is too expensive and you pay the horrendous fee for passing the bridge without turning a hair. You step on and enjoy the good service of crossing the river on solid ground and reach publisher swamp safely without any trouble. [[Continue ->c3bricks0]] <img src="bridges.png" width="65%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Isn't the one thing in the middle always the safest option? Sure it is. You reach out for the guarding troll and pay your fee. It is not terribly expensive, but the process is long and complicated. While carefully holding tight to the railings, you catch a wooden splinter in your paws, but reach the other side of the river without any further harm. Publisher swamp lays ahead of you. [[Continue ->c3sticks0]] <img src="bridges.png" width="60%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen As you break through the surface of the river, the cold feels like the prick of thousands of icy needles, making you feel dizzy and slowing down your mental functions. With great haste, the river washes your body and your tokens of gratitude away and by the time you finally lose consciousness, you almost reached the great vastness of the ocean. Your journey ends here as you fell for a predatory publisher rope. Try [[again ->c3.4]] with a more solid option or perish forever. <img src="ropedeath.png" width="60%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen The swamp was filled with the buzzing sound of thousands of insects, which were swaying in the fetid odor of rotting tree skeletons. The apprentice only noticed the small creature in front of him as he was almost already falling over it. Furiously, the editorial creature in publisher swamp glazed from below at the apprentice while seeking to clean its robes. [[Continue ->c3bricks1]] <img src="swamp.png" width="70%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen As everything in publisher swamp seemed to be made a business, he offered tools for the means of orientation. The apprentice had to dig deep in his pockets to pay all the coin the creature demanded. But before he could continue his journey to the discovery island bank, he felt the little hairy claws pulling suspiciously at the bag that contained the coins of gratitude. [[Continue ->c3sticks2]] <img src="swamp.png" width="60%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen The creature claimed that it would have never seen such an odd looking bag for tokens of gratitude. With such an appearance, the apprentice surely would gain unwanted attention, as oddly shaped citations may be removed during the process of publication. The gnome advised to stay away from any extra dangers, change for a regular bag and keep walking the path entrenched by the feet of many travelers. Will you give in to the creature's advice and [[change for a regular bag ->c3sregular0]] or are you looking for trouble in publisher swamp and [[keep the odd-looking bag ->c3sodd0]] for the tokens of gratitude? <img src="swamp.png" width="50%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen The bag may look different from traditional bags for tokens of gratitude, but you want to keep it as it contains tokens of gratitude for software tools, which are special in many regards. You shake off the hairy hand and continue your path through publisher swamp, cautious about the dangers presumably yet to come. [[Continue ->c3sodd1]] <img src="swamp.png" width="65%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen But the bag indicates that these tokens are meant to thank for the entertaining read of papyrus rolls dealing with the technique of crafting tools, which we commonly know as software related papers.

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen But what is that? After you have left the bank, the wizard with the appearance of a hedgehog sighs with grief, collects some of the tokens of gratitude and returns them to the troll guarding the stone bridge. Bear in mind that not all publishers open their reference lists publicly for others to use them. [[Continue ->c4.0]] your journey through the story with less tokens to be transferred to the kingdom of software craftsmen. <img src="elseviercrossref.png" width="50%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Each wizard had its own characteristic powers and appearance. ADS was ancient as the universe itself and had seen many suns dying in her life. EuropePMC descended from nature herself and was thus deeply connected with all the surrounding elements. The third creature was from its outer appearance the least astonishing of the three wizards, as Crossref Eventdata could easily be mistaken as a hedgehog. However, he was just as mighty as the two other wizards, maybe even a little but more powerful as his abilities were more of a general nature.

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen As the celebrations almost reached the highest point of joy, Asclepias the flying Pegasus entered the room. The fur of the young stallion was glimmering in a pure white, his hair was as soft as freshly fallen snow and his wings, lighter than a single feather of a common bird, were larger and stronger than several men together. [[Continue ->c4.5]] <img src="asclepias.png" width="65%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Asclepias was a messenger Pegasus that was meant to deliver the tokens of gratitude to the kingdom of software craftsmen. Every now and then, he started his journey through the air far above the landscape between discovery system island and the kingdom of software craftsmen, which was commonly called Zenodo. [[Continue ->c4.6]] <img src="asclepias.png" width="60%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Asclepias spread his wings and reached out for the sky. He looked at the map to find the best way to the kingdom of software craftsmen. But the map was difficult to read as it depicted rather idealistic outlines than any detail one would find in Zenodo. Confused, Asclepias was flying higher. [[Continue ->c5.1]] <img src="asclepias.png" width="70%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen All of the sudden, the weather changed dramatically. The wind grew to a storm and Asclepias had trouble to keep himself up in the air. He was fighting fiercely, but with the rumbling sound of thunder approaching, he fell from the sky, crushed down to the earth until the ground finally stopped his fall abruptly. [[Continue ->c5.2]] <img src="skyfall.png" width="63%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Asclepias' magical nature had saved him from certain death, but could not ease the pain that was burning like acid through his bones. He tried to get up, as his mission was not yet accomplished. But his wings were irreparably broken. With his remaining strength and continued his burdensome path to the kingdom of software craftsmen on foot. [[Continue ->c5.3]] <img src="asclepiashurt.png" width="65%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen The landscape of Zenodo was still wild and unclaimed by any specific culture. It was a place meant for everyone, meant for no one. Asclepias walked without ever stopping, as he was too afraid of losing his faith entirely when daring to give in his pain and rest for a while. [[Continue ->c5.4]] <img src="asclepiasheide.png" width="65%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Tokens of gratitude were addressed to a certain postal code in the kingdom of software craftsmen, which was also called the concept identifier of software tools. But Asclepias had to take many extra loops through Zenodo, as some tokens seemed to wear addresses that were related to more than one concept identifier. [[Continue ->c5.5]] <img src="asclepiasheide.png" width="65%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen After many days and nights of walking, the houses of the software craftsmen became visible in the distance. Asclepias stumbled towards the houses, but before he could reach his goal, Asclepias collapsed. [[Continue ->c5.6]] <img src="asclepiaswalk.png" width="70%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen As the life of Asclepias was fading, he lost control over the tokens of gratitude. Some were rolling away. But few of them made it to the streets of the software craftsmen, where they were found and picked up by its inhabitants. [[Continue ->c5.7]] <img src="asclepiascollapse.png" width="60%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Asclepias heart beat slowed down and he barely had the strength to breath. Everything seemed to be lost. Asclepias closed his eyes. If only the delivery of the tokens would have been easier. Do you [[accept the fate ->catas0]] of Asclepias and let him die with only few of the tokens of gratitude delivered to the kingdom of software craftsmen? The catastrophe is given for free as it reflects the situation as it is today. Or do you wish to [[change the outcome ->happy0]] of the story? Be aware that saving Asclepias will take some real life action. <img src="asclepiascollapse.png" width="60%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen Asclepias took his last breath and welcomed the darkness that fell upon him. The three wizards of discovery system island would soon send another messenger to deliver the tokens of gratitude, as the need to show gratitude still remained. But as the situation was so complicated, many more messengers would find their fates on their paths to the kingdom of software craftsmen until one day, the three wizards would give up.

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen All of the sudden Asclepias woke up from his sleep, still haunted by his lively nightmares. He had dreamed terrible things, of death and failure, pain and misery. Good that it was just a bad dream. Calmed, he continued his sleep. With the first light of the morning, he would start another journey to deliver tokens of gratitude to the software craftsmen. [[Continue ->happy1]] <img src="happyend.png" width="70%" align="right">

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen The problem of giving credit to software developers would never be solved, having severe consequences on the scholarly communication and the Open Science movement. The FAIR principles would still be found in books for students at universities, like every other good idea that never made it to practice. [[Your journey ends here ->end]]

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen It surely would not cost him more than half a day and he would be back in the evening for the great feast of the FORCE11 knights. Outside, the first wanderers coming from the kingdom of noble scholars were already reaching discovery island bank. These days, the traffic was high in the forest of scholarly writing and publisher swamp, as it was an enjoyable walk and became part of the scholar's daily routines.

Kingdom of Scholars → Shiver Forest of Scholarly Writing → The Three Bridges → Publisher Swamp → Discovery System Island → Zenodo → Kingdom of Software Craftsmen This scenario requires real life action from you.
