The SciCrunch Registry holds metadata records that describe digital resources, e.g., software, databases, projects and also services. Most of these are produced as a result of government funding and are available to the scientific community. Resources are manually curated to make sure the information is accurate. We also use a web crawler to find literature mentions for the resources.
