Hi all,
We're pleased to announce that the newest version of ROR
registry, release 1.7, adds 1314 Crossref Funder IDs to their
corresponding ROR records. See the release
notes for more information and to see the list of specific
organization records affected, including the University of Zanjan
in Iran and the National Synchotron Radiation Research Center in
Taiwan. This release represents the beginning of what will be some
ongoing work with Crossref to reconcile the ROR registry with the
Crossref
Funder Registry.
In other news, ROR was well-represented yesterday at the DataCite
Member Meeting. Keep an eye on the DataCite
blog for recordings of sessions you might have missed, and
remember too that DataCite is calling
for feedback on its new schema, including a proposal to use
ROR IDs as publisher identifiers.
Cheers,
Amanda
