Guide to Requesting and Integrating a ROR ID for ACTRIS

This technical guide provides practical guidance for ACTRIS facilities and units on requesting and integrating Research Organization Registry (ROR) identifiers. It describes how to determine whether a dedicated ROR ID is appropriate, how to search for existing records, prepare the information required for a new ROR request, define organisational relationships, submit and track a request, and integrate ROR IDs into research data and publication workflows. The guide also provides examples from the ACTRIS Research Infrastructure and recommendations for using ROR IDs to improve the identification, discoverability, interoperability, and attribution of research organisations and facilities in scholarly metadata.
