SciCrunch

SciCrunch is a collaboratively edited knowledge base about scientific resources, a community portal for researchers and a content management system for data and databases. It is intended to provide a common source of data to the research community and the data about research resources contains Research Resource IDentifiers (RRIDs), which can be used in scientific publications. In some respect, it is for science and scholarly publishing, what Wikidata is for WikiMedia projects. Hosted by the University of California, San Diego, SciCrunch was also designed to help communities of researchers create their own portals to provide access to resources, databases and tools of relevance to their research areas [1]

Format for Research Resource Citations

The recommendation for citing research resources is shown below for key biological resources:

· Antibody: Millipore Cat# MAB377 (Lot) RRID:AB_2298772

· Model organism: NXR Cat# 1.0049, RRID:NXR_1.0049

· Cell line: Coriell Cat# GM03745, RRID:CVCL_1H60

· Tools: CellProfiler Image Analysis Software, (version or date) RRID:SCR_007358

The RRID Portal[2] lists existing RRIDs and instructions for creating a new one if an RRID matching the resource does not already exist.

Institutions and publishers recommending SciCrunch

An increasing number of publishing houses, initiatives and research institutions encourages, recommends or even requires using SciCrunch‘s RRIDs:[3]
