krt: Author, Validate, and Export Key Resources Tables
A toolkit for creating, importing, validating, enriching, rendering, and depositing Key Resources Tables (KRTs). A KRT lists the resources used and generated in a study (antibodies, cell lines, organisms, chemicals, software, datasets, protocols, and more), each paired with a persistent identifier such as a Research Resource Identifier (RRID), a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), a repository accession, or a catalog number, so that resources are unambiguously identifiable and machine-actionable. The package models resources as typed, validated records around a neutral core schema and maps them to journal or funder output profiles, following the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles of Wilkinson et al. (2016) <doi:10.1038/sdata.2016.18>. It normalizes and optionally resolves identifiers against public registries, extracts resources from manuscripts, and renders tables both in the STAR (Structured, Transparent, Accessible Reporting) Methods style used by Cell Press journals and in the style required by ASAP (Aligning Science Across Parkinson's), with an emphasis on transparency, reproducibility, and correct per-component licensing.
