“The Resource Identification Initiative: A cultural shift in publishing”

The NIF community is very excited about a recently released research article, “The Resource Identification Initiative: A cultural shift in publishing” (Anita Bandrowski, Matthew Brush, Jeffery S. Grethe, Melissa A. Haendel, David N. Kennedy, Sean Hill, Patrick R. Hof, Maryann E. Martone, Maaike Pols, Serena Tan, Nicole Washington, Elena Zudilova-Seinstra, Nicole Vasilevsky) The research article focuses primarily on the Research Resource IDentifier (RRID). NIF is excited about RRIDs because they could play a major role in redefining the way that scientists communicate about and receive credit for the data, software tools, antibodies and model organisms that they produce.
