Nearly 900 RORs created during the last several years have been dropped from the ROR database and no longer resolve. These missing RORs have been identified. What should be done with them?

We have many times been in the position of having the reference for a paper and wanting to find the full text. But I think this is a first: I have the full text of a paper, and I want to find the reference!
The ROR web interface and API work well if you have a small number of affiliation strings that need identifiers, but what if you have several hundred organization names or thousands of affiliation strings? Try RORRetriever if you have a big ROR search and don’t know where to start!
Affiliations and identifiers are critical for building a connected research community across the world. The contribution made to that connected resource for University datasets in DataCite is limited by the paucity of the required organizational identifiers.
I use the database version of the ROR data to explore data characteristics that might affect my results, usually by making it harder to find the correct RORs in a big pile of affiliations.

DataCite has a long history of registering DOIs for a variety of resource types.
Need facet data in a machine-readable format? The new option —facetdata can help!
Yeah, one repo, one vision! In an effort to simplify maintenance and compatibility between Underworld and UWGeodynamics, we have decided to merge the codes into a single repository. Starting with version 2.13, UWGeodynamics will now live under Underworld. All UWGeodynamics functionalities and workflows will remain available to the users.
I’ve been in contact recently with Matt Lamanna, Associate Curator in the Section of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History — which is obviously the best job in the world.
