We are thrilled to introduce the newest member of the ROR pride: Joseph Rhoads joined the ROR team in September as our new Technical Lead.
Version 2 of the ROR API will become the query default in July 2025, and version 1 of the ROR API and dataset will be deprecated entirely in December 2025.
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.

What criteria do you think other identifiers should meet in order to be added to ROR?

After nearly a year of planning and community input, we are thrilled to release a beta version of ROR's first major schema and API update, which is open to the public for testing through October 16, 2023.

ROR adoption is ramping up, and we’ve been hard at work during the past few months creating resources (or should we say ROR-sources?
