The Research Resource Identifier (RRID) was introduced in 2014 to better identify biomedical research resources and track their use across the literature, including key digital resources such as databases and software. Authors include an RRID after the first mention of any resource used. Here, we provide an overview of RRIDs and analyze their use for digital resource identification. We quantitatively compare the output of our RRID curation workflow with the outputs of automated text mining systems used to identify resource mentions in text. The results show that authors follow RRID reporting guidelines well, and that our natural language processing based text mining was able to identify nearly all of the resources identified by RRIDs as well as thousands more. Finally, we demonstrate how RRIDs and text mining can complement each other to provide a scalable solution to digital resource citation
