However, while the working group has concluded, the group that provides&nbsp;RRIDs to authors is still working diligently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The thing about RRIDs is that they are essentially database records that are accessed by the author before he or she publishes a paper. These records can contain a&nbsp;warning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In a large text mining study, published today, Babic et al (2019; <a href=\"https:\/\/elifesciences.org\/articles\/41676\">https:\/\/elifesciences.org\/articles\/41676<\/a>) show that compared to the overall rate of use of the cell lines on the &quot;bad list&quot;, the RRID literature contains fewer cell lines on this &quot;bad list&quot;. The most likely explanation for this difference is that warning authors with a big red message,&nbsp;seem to be effective. We should note that&nbsp;not all cell lines on this &quot;bad list&quot; are actually bad, especially if the authors are aware of, for example, the true identity of the cell line, so many of these are safe to use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Read more:&nbsp;https:\/\/elifesciences.org\/for-the-press\/f105df2b\/research-resource-identifiers-improve-proper-use-of-cell-lines-in-biomedical-studies<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"ct_field\"><span class=\"ct_default\">https:\/\/elifesciences.org\/articles\/41676<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ct_field\"><span class=\"ct_label\">Publication Date:<\/span>&nbsp;<span class=\"ct_date\">29th January 2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ct_meta\"><span class=\"ct_label\">Archive:<\/span>&nbsp;<a class=\"ct_archive\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/archive.force11.net\/node\/8806\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/archive.force11.net\/node\/8806<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) are short, alphanumeric tags for antibodies, model organisms, cell lines, and tools (such as software and databases) that are typically used in the methods section of a paper.
