Research Organization Registry (ROR) is a community-led dataset that aims to provide a persistent identifier for every research organization in the world.

Initially the registry was seeded by the data from Global Research Identifier Database (GRID).

In 2021 it was announced that ROR will take over the role of the leading open organization identifier from GRID.

[2] ROR's first release after separating from GRID was published in March 2022.
