ROR, the Research Organization Registry, will be four years old in February, and in honor of that anniversary we’re hosting four events as part of our Annual Meeting on January 31st and February 1st. We’ve got something for you if you’re already a ROR fan (we have many), and we’ve got something for you if you just want to learn what ROR is all about. (Hint: it’s a global, community-led registry of open persistent identifiers for research organizations, and it’s Crossref’s preferred organizational identifier.)
