The Research Organization Registry (ROR) includes IDs and metadata for more than 110,000 organizations and counting. Registry data is CC0 and openly available via a search interface, REST API, and data dump. Registry updates are curated through a community process and released at least once a month.
MoreROR is community-supported open infrastructure driven by organizations and individuals from around the world. Join the community to get involved in advisory groups, give feedback on future directions, and integrate ROR in your systems.
MoreCalifornia Digital Library, Crossref, and DataCite launched ROR in 2019 following extensive community collaborations to develop an open registry of research organization identifiers. ROR is the only organization identifier that is completely open, focused specifically on affiliations, operated as a community initiative, and supported in core scholarly infrastructure.
MoreOpenAlex has added a new metadata matching strategy co-developed by ROR and Crossref to its affiliation matching processes: ROR is also investigating the prospect of incorporating this new matching strategy into the ROR API in 2025.
