We want to make it easy
to report materials in the scientific literature.

We are working to create a way to easily report accurate and exhaustive information about materials in the scientific literature, for the good of all scholars and a increased reproducibilty of research. We develop both standards (KROT:key reagent open table) and software to transfer information from the provider, to the lab inventory and eventually into the scholarly literature in a human and computer readable form.

Key reagent open tables

creating open standards for the description of reagents in the literature

Automation

  • RRID and other PID will be gathered at purchase via a browser plugin
  • Additional information will be pulled from open database
  • Formatted data will be sent to the user's inventory
  • That inventory database will talk with other software via REST API
  • At time of submission, data will be exported in the KROT formats.

An open source project

  • Fostering collaboration
  • Anyone can join
  • Making science more reproducible

Browser plug-in

similar to reference managers plugin, this one will recognize RRID elements (or other PID) in a web page and send the information to the information grabber

Information grabber

From the RRID and other PID, current information will be fetched from the databases using API or other connections.

Inventory database

Each user will get an inventory online where information about the purchase will be sent. The database will be called via REST API from other software

KROT

Creation of key reagent open tables, from informations collected in the inventory. Different outputs will be created for different purposes.
