Format for Citing RGD Data as RRIDs:
RGD supports and is participating in the Research Resource Identification Initiative to enable resource identification within the biomedical literature through the use of unique Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs). The use of such unique identifiers allows specific resources used within a study to be unambiguously identified, enabling reuse of specific resources and improving reproducibility of results.
To refer to a rat strain in your article, please use the correct official nomenclature for your particular strain or substrain and include the RGD ID of the strain as an RRID in the following format:
RRID:RGD_RGDID
Examples:
SHR/NCrl, RRID:RGD_1357994
SS-Apoeem7Mcwi, RRID:RGD_5131921
