Abstract

Project Summary The proposed GPU cluster will enable the RRID team to substantially improve detection of research resources in the scientific literature, a task that is mundane but important for academic tool creators, including Shared Core Facility directors, software tool authors, data resource owners, and the creators of biological resources such as mice or antibodies. These resources are frequently nicknamed in the scientific literature, a practice that the RRID project is aiming to eliminate, but one incentive for resource owners is to get better data about which papers are using their tools.
