Abstract

The Research Organization Registry (ROR)<https://ror.org/> launched in 2019 and now contains open persistent identifiers (ROR IDs) and associated metadata for more than 98,000 research organizations around the world. ROR is uniquely focused on solving the specific problem of how to identify the organizations associated with published research outputs, and on solving this problem with open infrastructure and with extensive community input. Wide adoption of ROR across the research landscape is key to enabling clean, consistent, and open metadata for tracking research outputs by institutions. This webinar will provide an overview of the ROR registry, demonstrate how ROR IDs are being used and integrated, and discuss upcoming milestones for the project.
