When you're requesting a new ROR ID for an organization, here are the three most important things to do before you fill out the request form: 1) Search the registry to see whether the organization already has a ROR ID, 2) Make sure the organization is in scope for ROR, and 3) Collect links to research outputs that acknowledge the organization as an author affiliation, funder, or publisher.
Collin Knopp-Schwyn of Crossref shares how they began contributing to the ROR dataset and discusses the value of ROR users providing curation requests to the registry.
Have you ever wondered exactly what happens once you request a new ROR record or suggest a change to an existing ROR record? In this blog post, we take you through all the steps involved in ROR's open, community-driven process for making sure that the information in the ROR registry is complete and accurate.
The fifth and final blog post about metadata matching by ROR’s Adam Buttrick and Crossref’s Dominika Tkaczyk outlines a set of pragmatic criteria for making decisions about metadata matching.
This blog post explores the difference between 'core facilities' in RRID and 'facilities' in ROR and provides guidance for those who run facilities on how to effectively use these identifiers.
The fourth blog post about metadata matching by ROR’s Adam Buttrick and Crossref’s Dominika Tkaczyk explains how to measure the quality of different matching strategies with an evaluation dataset and metrics.
In this post, we discuss a few common myths about metadata matching that are often encountered when interacting with users, developers, integrators, and other stakeholders.
The second blog post about metadata matching by ROR's Adam Buttrick and Crossref's Dominika Tkaczyk describes some basic matching-related terminology and the components of a matching process, then poses some typical product questions to consider when developing or integrating matching solutions.
In this blog, the first one in a series about metadata matching, we will cover the very basics of matching: what it is, how we do it, and why we devote so much effort to this problem.
ROR is ready to take on the important work that the Open Funder Registry has been doing: identifying research funders in a clean, consistent, comprehensive, and interoperable way. This post compares both registries and provides data showing that most of the Open Funder Registry records that see the most use already have equivalent records in ROR.
