Product Code Database
SciCrunch is a collaboratively edited knowledge base about scientific resources. It is a Web 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 Resource Identifiers (RRIDs), which can be used in scientific publications. After starting as a pilot of two journals in 2014, by 2022 over 1,000 journals have been using them and over half a million RRIDs have been quoted in the scientific literature. In some respect, it is for science and scholarly publishing, similar to what Wikidata is for Wikimedia Foundation 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, and tools of relevance to their research areas
They were introduced and are promoted by the Resource Identification Initiative. Resources in this context are research resources like reagents, tools or materials.
An example for such a resource would be a cell line used in an experiment or Software used in a computational analysis. The Resource Identification Portal
was created in support of this initiative and is a central service where these identifiers can be searched and created.
These identifiers should be fully searchable by data mining unlike supplementary files, and can be updated to new versions as basic methodology changes over time.
The Resource Identification Portal lists existing RRIDs and instructions for creating a new one if an RRID matching the resource does not already exist.
RRID Citations:
shows the list of 44 papers (as of April 11, 2023) that have used this cell line in research. Each reference will show how authors have used the RRID by including a short snippet of the sentence in which the resource is defined by authors.
External Resolver Services for RRIDs: Name to thing resolver from the California Digital Library can resolve any RRID using the following pattern https://n2t.net/RRID example https://n2t.net/RRID:NXR_1049
The Identifiers.org resolver can also resolve any RRID using the following pattern https://identifiers.org/RRID/RRID example https://identifiers.org/RRID/RRID:NXR_1049
