Unique identification of research resources in the 50 studies that make up the [Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology][1].
------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br>
As a follow up to the previously published study, which showed a lack of indentifiability of research resources in the published biomedical literature (Vasilevsky, et al. 2014, PeerJ 1:e148), we analyzed 6 resource types reported in these papers to determine the identifiability of these resources. The resource types included antibodies, cell lines, constructs, knockdown reagents, model organisms and software. The results showed an average 85% of the resources were identifiable, and the ability to identify the resources varied amongst the resource types.
