### πŸͺͺ A researcher is a file, not a degree. the Antigravity form asks for six things β€” three of them are free tonight ```auto πŸͺͺ THE FILE name your real name, spelled the same everywhere orcid 0000-0000-0000-0000 ← 2 min Β· free affil institution, linked by ROR ← 1–3 days Β· free work one DOI you can point at ← 10 min Β· free page public, and it names you ← one evening project 300 chars: problem Β· method Β· deliverable ``` digraph G { rankdir=TB; nodesep=0.35; ranksep=0.45; node [shape=box, style="rounded,filled", fontname="Helvetica", fontsize=13]; edge [color="#8a7a62"]; you [label="you", fillcolor="#eef2f7", color="#1b2b4b"]; id [label="orcid + ror", fillcolor="#e8f5ee", color="#2f7d5a"]; aff [label="affiliation", fillcolor="#fdf1e2", color="#c9772e"]; doi [label="one doi", fillcolor="#eef2f7", color="#1b2b4b"]; page [label="public page", fillcolor="#eef2f7", color="#1b2b4b"]; form [label="form ready", fillcolor="#1b2b4b", fontcolor="#ffffff", color="#1b2b4b"]; mail [label="reply to the email", fillcolor="#fdf1e2", color="#c9772e"]; grant [label="6 months granted", fillcolor="#e8f5ee", color="#2f7d5a"]; you -\> {id aff doi page}; {id aff doi page} -\> form; form -\> mail -\> grant; } | route | what it mints | time | cost | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | πŸ†” **weekend** | ORCID + DOI + page + Scholar | one evening | $0 | | πŸŽ“ **email door** | noncredit enrolment β†’ college address | 1–3 days | $0 | | πŸ§ͺ **lab affiliate** | lab page + PI confirms you | 2–6 weeks | $0 | **The step nobody tells you:** after you submit, Google emails your institutional address within 3 working days. **You must reply to that email** β€” the reply is what verifies the affiliation and completes the application. **Why it works:** the file is checked by consistency, not by prestige β€” the name on your ORCID, your DOI, your page and the form must be the same person. > **every link Β· the four traps Β· how it fits the Antigravity offer** > > **The six mints, free** > > - πŸ†” [ORCID](https://orcid.org/register) β€” 2 minutes, email only; then add employment **by [ROR](https://ror.org/) iD** so the institution resolves on a machine > - πŸ“„ [Zenodo](https://zenodo.org/) β€” upload any file, get a citable DOI Β· GitHub release β†’ DOI ([how](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/archiving-a-github-repository/referencing-and-citing-content)) Β· [OSF preregistration](https://help.osf.io/article/158-create-a-preregistration) > - πŸ› a public page on GitHub Pages: name Β· ORCID Β· institution Β· DOI list Β· contact > - πŸŽ“ a real paper, when the work is there: [JOSS](https://joss.theoj.org/) for software Β· [Scientific Data](https://www.nature.com/sdata/) for datasets Β· [ReScience C](https://rescience.github.io/) for replications > - πŸ“š [arXiv](https://info.arxiv.org/help/endorsement.html) needs an endorser β€” an existing author in the category, not Google > - 🏒 no institution?

Generated `.edu` addresses β€” the old generators are parked or expired, and verifiers read the domain against a registry, not the suffix. > 2. A bought DOI in a journal no index carries β€” worse than none, and checkable in seconds. > 3. A fabricated affiliation β€” a human replies to that institutional email; the fake body fails after the wait. > 4. A week-old affiliation with nothing attached. The fix is a dated role + one DOI, not a better story. > > **How it lands on the offer:** the form has no β€œindependent researcher” option, so the affiliation is the one piece you borrow β€” everything else you mint yourself. Six months of the top tier is worth roughly $1,200, and the file costs a free evening. Build the file first. The application is the easy part.
