Research Organization Registry

Exciting news! @crossref@mastodon.online will soon be linking funder names to ROR IDs in DOI #metadata through a rigorously tested automatic matching strategy. This is a major step toward making ROR the primary identifier for funders in Crossref. https://doi.org/10.64000/d3f5t-g5017

The whole point of persistent identifiers is that they *persist,* which is one reason ROR has always been committed to the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI). Read our latest POSI self-assessment to learn how ROR works to ensure transparent and community-led governance, sustainability, and insurance. #PIDs #POSI #Metadata https://doi.org/10.71938/2xy9-em92
