RORing ahead: using ROR in place of the Open Funder Registry
Key Points
Transitioning to ROR may enhance tracking and management of funder affiliations, and improve usability.
The decision to deprecate the Open Funder Registry aligns with emerging needs for more integrated solutions.
Utilizing ROR registry instead of Open Funder Registry will benefit both researchers and funding organizations.
This change emphasizes the importance of adopting streamlined systems in supporting research funding.
Abstract
A few months ago we announced our plan to deprecate our support for the Open Funder Registry in favour of using the ROR Registry to support both affiliation and funder use cases.
