Several widely used scholarly systems are using ROR IDs to identify and disambiguate funding organizations. In this post, we’ll give you a glimpse of how and why these systems use ROR IDs as funder identifiers.
Crossref, with the help of CWTS Leiden, has just released an exciting update to their participation report, adding metrics for both affiliations in general and ROR IDs in particular.
The American Physical Society (APS) has become the largest society publisher to adopt ROR, incorporating it into their manuscript submission process and sending ROR IDs in author affiliation metadata to Crossref.
Professor Cameron Neylon of Curtin University talks telephones, power outlets, chat services, persistent identifier education, federated versus centralized curation, providing actionable information to universities, and why the COKI Open Access Dashboard relies on ROR.
Adam Day, CEO of Clear Skies Ltd., discusses how he works to improve research integrity with tools like Papermill Alarm, why such tools can assist but can’t replace human investigators, and what’s so important for data scientists about free and open identifers like ROR.
Justin Barrett, Lead Machine Learning Engineer for OpenAlex at OurResearch, talks with ROR Technical Community Manager Amanda French and ROR Curation Lead Adam Buttrick about using ROR both as an identifier for institutions in OpenAlex and as a dataset for training machine learning models that enrich OpenAlex metadata.
Chris Hartgerink, the founder of Liberate Science, discusses why and how they integrated ROR into the modular publishing platform ResearchEquals for author affiliations in user profiles and Crossref DOIs and explains why they live streamed all eight hours of the work.
Michael Parkin, data scientist at EMBL-EBI who helps maintain Europe PMC, explains why and how ROR helps with assessing funding impact and tracking researcher collaborations.
In January of 2022, DataSalon announced a full integration of ROR into its scholarly publishing analytics products MasterVision and PaperStack. DataSalon’s Client Services Director Andy Dobson sat down with us to tell us all about how they draw on fifteen years of data experience to match organizational affiliations in publisher data to ROR IDs.
Scholastica, a journal publishing technology solutions provider, has incorporated ROR IDs into its Peer Review System, Production Service, and Open Access Publishing Platform.
