The “Research Organisation Registry”, often referred to simply as ROR for short, is a database of persistent identifiers for organisations in the academic sector. Similar to ORCIDs, which serve this purpose for individuals, these “persistent identifiers” are intended to provide unique references to these organisations, regardless of potential identical or similar names of different organisations, or language or other variations of the name for the same organisation.
Numerous publishers already allow the use of RORs when specifying an individual’s affiliations. You can also add corresponding entries to your profile on ORCID. The Society for Research Software in Germany now also has such a ROR: 007qpef44. This means that from now on, you have a persistent way to reference the Society. As a member (or staff) of the Society, you can use it, for example, to indicate your affiliation with the Society in publications that somehow connect to it.
