We're looking for your feedback on a draft proposal for criteria to include additional external identifiers in ROR records. Comments are open through August 16th. ROR records already include mappings to Crossref Funder IDs, Wikidata, ISNI, and GRID. What additional external IDs do you feel should be added? What criteria do you think other identifiers should meet in order to be added to ROR?
