The Research Organization Registry (ROR) is a community-led project that aims to develop unique identifiers for every research organization worldwide. ROR seeks to connect people, places and things through a network of persistent identifiers to help discover, track, and organize research outputs. Current ROR resources include a registry of organizations at ror.org/search, metadata, an API, and a reconciler tool to connect related information across sources.
