In the past few years, a great deal of attention has been paid to the importance of using ROR IDs to identify organizations that researchers are affiliated with. Less well-known, but equally important, is that organizations can also act as creators or contributors themselves, and these organizational creators and contributors can also be identified with ROR IDs, which is particularly useful for tracking organizational partnerships.
We are delighted to announce the launch of a new matching strategy in the ROR API to help you match complex affiliation text strings to ROR IDs at scale.
