DataCite Funders Matched to ROR IDs - DataCite Enrichment Format

This dataset contains 1,008,697 enrichment records mapping funder name strings from DataCite metadata to Research Organization Registry (ROR) identifiers. It covers 697,791 unique DOIs from the DataCite Public Data File.

Each record is formatted as a DataCite enrichment input record, designed for use with the DataCite enrichment pipeline. Records use the updateChild action on the fundingReferences field, providing a per-reference originalValue/enrichedValue pair that adds ROR identifiers to existing funding reference entries.

Record Structure

Field	Description
doi	The DOI of the DataCite record
contributors	Provenance metadata identifying the producer of the enrichment
resources	Related resources (source dataset)
field	"fundingReferences" - the DataCite metadata field being enriched
action	"updateChild" - the enrichment action type
originalValue	The funding reference object in its pre-enrichment state, including fields such as funderName and awardNumber
enrichedValue	The funding reference object with ROR identifiers added (funderIdentifier, funderIdentifierType, schemeUri)

Methodology

match-datacite-funders-to-ror-ids was used to extract funding references from the DataCite Public Data File, match them to ROR IDs, and reconcile the results into enrichment records.

1. Unique funder name strings were extracted from the DataCite Public Data File
2. Each funder name was matched to a ROR ID using the funder matching strategy from Crossref's Marple, with v2.6 of the ROR data
3. Matched ROR IDs were reconciled back to individual DOI/funding reference records
4. Only funding references with a successful ROR match are included
5. Funding references that already had ROR funder identifiers assigned in the source DataCite metadata were excluded from matching

Statistics

Metric	Value

File Format

JSONL (JSON Lines), one enrichment record per line.
