As researchers and scholars, you face the ongoing challenge of distinguishing your research activities from those of others with similar names. You need to be able to easily and uniquely attach your identity to research objects such as datasets, equipment, articles, media stories, citations, experiments, patents, and notebooks. As you collaborate across disciplines, institutions and borders, you must interact with an increasing number and diversity of research information systems. Entering data over and over again can be time-consuming, and often frustrating. ORCID is an open, non-profit, community-driven effort to create and maintain a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers. ORCID is unique in its ability to reach across disciplines, research sectors and national boundaries. It is a hub that connects researchers and research through the embedding of ORCID identifiers in key workflows, such as research profile maintenance, manuscript submissions, grant applications, and patent applications. ORCID provides two core functions: (1) a registry to obtain a unique identifier and manage a record of activities, and (2) APIs that support system-to-system communication and authentication. ORCID makes its code available under an open source license, and will post an annual public data file under a CC0 waiver for free download. The ORCID Registry is available free of charge to individuals, who may obtain an ORCID identifier, manage their record of activities, and search for others in the Registry. Organizations may become members to link their records to ORCID identifiers, to update ORCID records, to receive updates from ORCID, and to register their employees and students for ORCID identifiers. ORCID records hold non-sensitive information such as name, email, organization and research activities. ORCID understands the fundamental need for individuals to control how their data are shared, and provides tools to manage data privacy. We take steps to protect your information, consistent with the principles set forth in our Privacy Policy, which are intended to comply with the Safe Harbor Principles issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Registration required.

Google Scholar allows users to search for digital or physical copies of articles, whether online or in libraries Google Scholar is relatively quick and easy to use. “Scholarly” searches will appear using the references from “’full-text journal articles, technical reports, preprints, theses, books, and other documents, including selected Web pages that are deemed to be “scholarly.’” Because most of Google Scholar's search results link directly to commercial journal articles, a majority of the time users will only be able to access a brief summary of the articles topics, as well as small amounts of important information regarding the article, and possibly have to pay a fee to access the entire article. Google Scholar is as easy to use as with the regular Google web search, especially with the helpfulness of the "advanced search" option, which can automatically narrow search results to a specific journal or article. The most relevant results for the searched keywords will be listed first, in order of the author's ranking, the number of references that are linked to it and their relevance to other scholarly literature, and the ranking of the publication that the journal appears in. Using its "group of" feature, it shows the available links to journal articles. In the 2005 version, this feature provided a link to both subscription-access versions of an article and to free full-text versions of articles; for most of 2006, it provided links to only the publishers' versions. Since December 2006, it has provided links to both published versions and major open access repositories, but still does not cover those posted on individual faculty web pages;[citation needed] access to such self-archived non-subscription versions is now provided by a link to Google, where one can find such open access articles. Through its "cited by" feature, Google Scholar provides access to abstracts of articles that have cited the article being viewed. It is this feature in particular that provides the citation indexing previously only found in Scopus and Web of Knowledge. Through its "Related articles" feature, Google Scholar presents a list of closely related articles, ranked primarily by how similar these articles are to the original result, but also taking into account the relevance of each paper. Registration not required.

PLINK is a popular and computationally efficient software program that offers a comprehensive and well-documented set of automated genome wide association quality control and analysis tools. It is a freely available open source software written in C++, which can be installed on Windows, Mac and Unix machines. The focus of PLINK is purely on analysis of genotype/phenotype data, so there is no support for steps prior to this (e.g. study design and planning, generating genotype or CNV calls from raw data). Through integration with gPLINK and Haploview, there is some support for the subsequent visualization, annotation and storage of results. Registration not required.

The Antibody Registry was created to give researchers a way to universally identify antibodies used in in the course of their research. The Antibody Registry assigns unique and persistent identifiers to each antibody so that they can be referenced within publications. Unlike antibody names or catalog numbers, these identifiers only point to a single antibody, so that the actual antibody used in your research research can be identified by humans and search engines. Registration not required.

CiteAb Ltd is a biotechnology company located in Bath, England that offers an antibody search facility. CieAb ranks antibodies by the number of times they have been cited. This allows researchers to easily find antibodies that have been used in peer-reviewed publications and the accompanying citations are listed, so users can check the data contained within the publications. This makes CiteAb a useful resource for identifying antibodies for experiments and also for finding information to demonstrate antibody validation (Helsby et al., BMC Cell Biol 15:6, 2014) Registration not required.

ChEMBL, an open-access database, contains more than 5 million interactions between proteins and ligands that have been published in peer-reviewed journals or reported by laboratories and screening centers . Under ChEMBL’s “Ligand Search” tab, you can enter a compound’s SMILES notation in the “List Search” box and click “Fetch Compounds.” On the next page, clicking on the ChEMBL compound identifier under the 2-D drawing takes you to the Compound Report Card page, which includes the “Protein Target Classes” and tables containing the proteins that are predicted to bind with the highest affinity (Nucleic Acids Res, 40:D1100-07,2012). Registration not required.

PyClone is a tool for inferring the cellular prevalence of point mutations from deeply sequenced data. It serves as a statistical model for inference of clonal population structures in cancers.The model supports simultaneous analysis of multiple related samples and infers clusters of mutations whose cellular prevalences shift together. Such clusters of mutations can be inferred as mutational genotypes of distinct clonal populations (Roth et al., Nature Meth 11, 396, 2014). Registration required.

The R package multiMiR, with web server is a comprehensive collection of predicted and validated miRNA-target interactions and their associations with diseases and drugs. Within this database, investigators can find clues to potential new treatments for various diseases, including cancer. In addition to helping researchers search for relationships between microRNAs and their genetic targets, multiMiR includes drugs that affect these microRNAs and lists associated diseases.The database combines nearly 50 million records from 14 microRNA data repositories. It also links to research results. Researchers can input names of microRNAs, genes, drugs, diseases, or any combination. Then they can ask the database for validated or predicted genetic targets of microRNAs, or for validated or predicted microRNAs that regulate specific genes (M Fillon, JNCI 106, issue 12, News 3, 2014) Registration not required.
