Publishing Standards

ROR

We identify author affiliations using the Research Organization Registry (ROR).

Unambiguous affiliations

ROR IDs uniquely identify institutions, so affiliations are consistent regardless of naming variations across languages and time.

In our metadata

We include ROR IDs in article metadata deposited with Crossref to improve institutional discovery and reporting.

Open infrastructure

ROR is open, community-led and free to use, aligning with our commitment to open scholarly infrastructure.
