Identity, access and credit

ROR

Persistent identifiers for institutions, in every form where a user is added, linked to Geonames for location.

IntegrationNothing else neededror.org

Persistent identifiers for institutions, in the way ORCID does it for people. Free, open, and increasingly the standard.

What PeerPath does with it

ROR is already used in every form where a user is added, and it is linked to Geonames so an institution's physical location resolves too. Affiliations stop being free text that nobody can count.

Where it sits in the workflow

Wherever a person is added, which is most places.

Setting it up

1Nothing to do. It is already there.

Whether it is right for you

Worth it if
  • You report on affiliations, funders or institutions and want the data to be countable
Probably not if
  • No reason to switch it off.
