(from <a href="https://www.scicrunch.com">SciCrunch</a>, which manages RRIDs) about them. We've had fairly strong disagreements about the role of RRIDs for software, but mostly come to the agreement that they are ok to use for software packages (not versions but overall concepts - all versions) in the life sciences.<div><br></div><div>Other disciplines have other PIDs that they use for software, which is confusing and difficult.</div><div><br></div><div>This is unlike data, where DOIs have become standard.</div><div><br></div><div>For more on repository and registry practices related to software, see <a href="https://scicodes.net/">https://scicodes.net/</a> and <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.13117">https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.13117</a></div><div><br></div><div>Dan</div><div><br><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Mar 28, 2023, at 12:41 PM, Diana via Esip-citationguidelines <esip-citationguidelines@lists.esipfed.org> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><meta charset="UTF-8"><div class="elementToProof" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Hi everyone,</div><div class="elementToProof" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></div><div class="elementToProof" style="font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">I am wondering if this group has ever discussed RRIDs?
