First time users

To submit entries to the RSL, you must first have a nametag. If you already have a nametag, you can go directly the submission form. If you have forgotten your nametag, you can search for it using your email address.

A nametag is assigned to each researcher when they make their first submission to the RSL. It will identify your submissions in the RSL, and other researchers will use it to contact you.

Nametags consist of eight or fewer lower case alpha or numeric characters. The first character MUST be an alpha character. The nametag cannot have any periods, commas, brackets, or hyphens.You may suggest your own nametag. If your choice is already being used by someone else, you will need to make another choice. You cannot change your nametag once it has been assigned.

Enter Name:
