Organization Persistent Identifiers

DOE OSTI maintains an internal organization authority list containing years of historical organization names and synonyms.

  • The organization authority includes both research and funding organizations provided to OSTI as author affiliations, research, and sponsoring organizations.
  • When a user submits a research output record to OSTI, organization names are standardized using the organization authority.
  • OSTI has mapped our internal organization authority with commonly used organization identifiers for inclusion in the authority.
  • OSTI will include the organization identifier metadata when assigning DOIs to research components, creating a persistent identifier link between the DOI and organization identifier.
  • Organization identifiers in the authority include ROR, GRID, ISNI, Wikidata, and Ringgold.
