title: RRIDs: A Simple Step toward Improving Reproducibility through Rigor and Transparency of Experimental Methods.
abstract: With the call for more rigorous scientific reporting, authentication, and transparency from the scientific community and funding agencies, one critical step is to make finding and identifying key resources in the published literature tractable. We discuss here the use of Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) as one tool to help resolve this tricky problem in reproducibility.
