Who supports RRIDs

“Research Resource Identifier (RRID) is another initiative with the goal of improving research reproducibility by helping to standardise how reagents, software, antibodies and model organisms are cited in the literature.”

“An even better citation method that is gaining momentum with scientists was created by the Research Resource Initiative. This initiative was launched with the intention of creating a resource to standardize the citation of biomedical resources based on the references in which they were generated or used.”

“Research Resource Identifiers are unique Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) for citing resources used in the research. We encourage authors to use RRIDs within the text of their papers to identify their model organisms, antibodies, or tools.”

“BioTechniques now takes part in the Resource Identification Initiative, an effort designed to provide unique identification numbers for biomedical reagents used in research. The numbers provided by the Resource Identification Initiative through their website portal are called Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs).”

“Elsevier and the Neuroscience Information Framework Work Together to Improve Reporting of Research in Neuroscience Literature:”

“The FASEB Journal encourages the use of Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs), which have been developed in support of NIH's guidelines for rigor and transparency in biomedical publications.”

“A great example of this is the recent announcement from Cell Press, which scrapped and rebuilt the methods section of every paper in the latest issues of Cell. The aim of this was to support the publication of the complete protocol and clear unambiguous identification of every reagent, including RRIDs (research identifiers).”

“We encourage authors to add Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) to their article in order to unambiguously identify the following types of resources: antibodies, genetically modified organisms, software tools, data, databases and services.”
