Research Resource Identification PortalThis is the Resource Identification Portal, supporting guidelines for Rigor and Transparency in scientific publications.
If you are interested in receiving a monthly newsletter about RRIDs and RRID related news, please sign up using the big blue button. If the link does not work for you please copy and paste this URL https://site.us12.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=0a278980f634ce4f77988e46a&id=743aaca79b
Find your RRIDs
For authors, please click on each of the key resources: Antibodies, Model Organisms, Cell Lines, Plasmids, and other Tools (software, databases, services). Just copy the RRID citation into your paper. If you can't find your resource add a new one, we make it easy (big blue button on the bottom of this page).
Getting Started
The Resource Identification Portal was created in support of the Resource Identification Initiative, which aims to promote research resource identification, discovery, and reuse. The portal offers a central location for obtaining and exploring Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) - persistent and unique identifiers for referencing a research resource. This portal relies on the good work of many community repositories such as MGI, Addgene, MMRRC and Cellosaurus. These community databases are the source for RRIDs of their type. If you used a resource, especially one created by your colleagues, please cite it using the RRID, if you created a new resource, we link you to the place where you can deposit that key resource in a community repository. Some examples are shown below, which are linked to metadata about each resource:
Antibody: RRID:AB_90755
Plasmid: RRID:Addgene_44362
Organism: RRID:MMRRC_026409-UCD
Cell Line: RRID:CVCL_1074
Tool: RRID:SCR_003070
Biosamples: RRID:SAMN19842595
To ensure they are recognizable, unique, and traceable, identifiers are prefixed with " RRID: ", followed by a second tag that indicates the source authority that provided it (e.g. "AB" for the Antibody Registry, "CVCL" for the Cellosaurus, "MMRRC" for Mutant Mouse Regional Resource Centers, "SCR" for the SciCrunch registry of tools).
Entities not covered by RRIDs may be cited as follows:
- Small molecules: Please use the PubChem CID (lookup here) citation instructions (here)
- Proteins: Please use the UniprotKB ID (lookup here) citation instructions (here)
All other kits, molecules, and other not covered entities: Please use the following syntax:
- Exact product name, Company Name, Catalog Number, Lot or Batch number
