Comparing the Use of Research Resource Identifiers and Natural Language Processing for Citation of Databases, Software and Other Digital Artifacts

<p><strong>The Research Resource Identifier was introduced in biomedicine in 2014 to more precisely identify the reagents and tools used in published biomedical research and to track use of tools across the breadth of the biomedical literature. The current RRID specification covers key biological and digital resources. Authors are instructed to include an RRID after the first mention of any resource used. RRIDs are designed to be easy to find using &nbsp;a full text search search engine. </strong></p> <p><strong>The published data sets were used in our comparative study where comparing the output of our RRID curation workflow with the outputs of automated text mining systems that have been used to identify mentions of resources in the text of publications.
