A huge thanks to Anita Bandrowski of #SciCrunch for the fantastic Deep Dive into the value of Research Resource IDentifiers - #RRIDs.

An increasing number of journals are requesting that researchers use these #identifiers to create a permanent tracking system that makes their research inputs transparent and traceable - particularly in #biomedicine.
