ROR stands for Research Organization Registry. The Research Organization Registry (ROR) is operated as a joint initiative of the California Digital Library and the DOI identifier registration agencies Crossref and DataCite. ROR ID is the first and only identifier for organizations specifically aimed at the affiliation identification in research metadata. It is a community led iniciative and designed to be integrated into the open research infrastructure. Číst více
ROR as a standard for organization identification
ROR ID allows anyone or any system to easily distinguish institutional names and link research organizations to researchers and research outputs. It is used, among other things, to uniquely identify institutional affiliations, improve search and tracking of research outputs by affiliation, and facilitate Open Access publishing workflows. ROR is the first and only organization identifier that is openly available – the data is available under the CC0 license through an open REST API and a public dataset. The ROR identifiers are specifically designed to be implemented in any system that captures institutional affiliation and to enable linkages between research organizations, research outputs and researchers. ROR is the default identifier for organizations supported in metadata of DOI (both Crossref and DataCite) and ORCID identifiers.
Who can obtain a ROR ID
ROR IDs can be obtained by any organization that is engaged in research – i.e. produces, manages or funds research, employs and trains researchers, facilitates research or publishes research. Číst více
You can find out more about ROR in the video “The ABCs of ROR: Understanding and Using Open Identifiers for Affiliations” or on some of the ROR Community Calls.
Hot get a ROR ID
Most research institutions based in the Czech Republic have already been allocated a ROR ID – this can be verified in the ROR register: https://ror.org/search
ROR can be obtained by sending basic information about the research institution to the ROR initiative, the information is evaluated by an independent, international team of editors who decide on the (non-)allocation of the identifier. Obtaining and using the ROR is free of charge and you can choose from two options:
- to register your organization (or update changes) by filling out the form
- contact the National ROR Support
