Affiliation parameter
About the affiliation parameter
For many years, publishers of scholarly information often captured author and contributor affiliation information as unstructured data, sometimes storing an organization's name, a sub-unit or department's name, a street address, and a geographical location along with copious irregular punctuation as a text string in a single field. Some affiliation strings even include multiple affiliations.
The affiliation parameter of the ROR API is designed to match these messy text strings to ROR records automatically to produce cleaner affiliation data. The affiliation service attempts to find the ROR record that is the most probable match for the given affiliation string; if it finds a likely candidate, it returns that result with a chosen:true indicator that can be used in ROR integration code. Not all affiliation searches will produce a "chosen" result. The method of matching is also indicated in the matching_type field.
Additional possibilities that might match the string are also included in results, listed in descending order by confidence score. Note that we do not recommend using the confidence score to select matches; use the chosen:true indicator instead.
An API-based approach to matching affiliation strings to ROR IDs can work well for large-scale systems where human review of every proposed match is impractical, but no large-scale programmatic approach to matching is perfect, especially since there are many similar and even identical names and acronyms among research organizations globally. Often, the matching service will not be able to suggest a match for a particular string, and in some cases, the matching service might suggest an incorrect match. Human review is always the best fallback.
Affiliation parameter format
https://api.ror.org/v2/organizations?affiliation=[URL-encoded-string]
Formatting searches
All request strings must be URL-encoded. The affiliation parameter is specifically designed to handle strings with punctuation, special characters, and spaces, so it is not necessary to enclose multi-term search strings in quotation marks or to escape special characters.
Paging and filtering
The affiliation parameter does not accept filters and results are not paginated. If filter syntax is added to the end of an affiliation query, the terms will be treated as part of the affiliation search and will produce unwanted results. Results are listed in descending order by matching confidence score.
Be aware of differences between the affiliation parameter and the query parametersUnlike the ?query parameter and the ?query.advanced parameter, the affiliation parameter does not accept filters, and results are not paginated. If filter syntax is added to the end of an affiliation search, the terms will be treated as part of the affiliation search.
Also unlike the query and advanced query parameters, the affiliation parameter expects multi-word strings that include spaces, punctuation, and special characters. Surrounding terms in quotation marks or escaping special characters can produce worse results when using the affiliation parameter.
The affiliation parameter is designed for automatic matching of text strings to ROR IDs. The query parameter and the advanced query parameter are designed for use cases in which a person chooses a result, such as ROR-powered forms and the ROR web search.
Matching a string
Use the affiliation parameter to match a text string that includes an organization name to a ROR ID. If a likely match is found, it will be identified with the chosen:true indicator and can be automatically selected. No more than one result (if any) will include the chosen:true indicator.
Example
A text string such as "Dept. of Microbiology, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA, 19104" can be matched to a ROR ID with the affiliation parameter. Note that the string must be URL-encoded.

}No matches found
When there's no result with the chosen:true indicator (i.e., all results of a query are chosen:false) it can mean that the string does not include enough information for the algorithm to find a match, or that there are several good matches but no clear winner, or that the organization is not in ROR. If there is no result with chosen:true, some additional review by humans or machines is almost always needed in order to match the string to a ROR ID.
In some cases, matching results can by improved through a change to ROR data, such as adding a common alias or label to a ROR record. Please submit a curation request to ask for a specific change to a ROR record or reach out to us at [email protected] if it is unclear what should be changed.
Don't automatically select results by score or orderWhen no result has the
chosen: trueindicator, there might be no match with a high score, or several results might have the exact same score. In these cases, it is best to respect the absence of thechosen:trueindicator. If there is no result withchosen:true, leave the string unmatched or add an additional layer of human or machine matching, at your discretion. Don't automatically select results higher than a particular confidence score, and don't automatically select the first result in the list.
Example
An affiliation string such as "UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies" does not contain enough identifying information for the ROR API affiliation matching service to choose a matching ROR record.
curl 'https://api.ror.org/v2/organizations?affiliation=UCL%20School%20of%20Slavonic%20and%20East%20European%20Studies' | json_ppThe response returns results with confidence scores ranging from .79 to .7 listed in descending order, but the affiliation matching service does not rate any of these results as a recommended match. In such cases, best practice is to add additional human or machine review or to leave the string unmatched.

}Single search strategy
As of May 2026, the default search strategy for the affiliation parameter is a "single search" strategy that outperforms the legacy multisearch strategy in terms of precision and recall while also being faster and more computationally efficient. You can specify the single search strategy by appending &single_search to the query, but it is not necessary, since single search is the default.
Affiliation parameter single search format
https://api.ror.org/v2/organizations?affiliation=[URL-encoded-string]&single_search
The single search matching strategy, available in the ROR API since December 2025, uses only a single query and the entirety of the input text string to find potential matches between affiliation strings and ROR records. The strategy is benchmarked against an F.05 score, meaning that it weights precision (accuracy of matches) more than recall (quantity of matches), with 97% precision and 72% recall. The maximum number of results in the response is 10.
Example
Find a matching ROR record for the string "Instituto de Investigación en Informática de Albacete (I3A), Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Albacete, Spain" specifying the single search strategy.
curl 'https://api.ror.org/organizations?affiliation=Instituto%20de%20Investigaci%C3%B3n%20en%20Inform%C3%A1tica%20de%20Albacete%20%28I3A%29%2C%20Universidad%20de%20Castilla-La%20Mancha%2C%20Albacete%2C%20Spain&single_search' | json_pp The first item in the results list, the ROR record https://ror.org/05r78ng12 for Universidad de Castilla La Mancha, has a chosen value of true, indicating that the affiliation service considers this record a sufficiently likely match to the text string. Not all affiliation searches will produce a "chosen" result.
The matching_type is given as "SINGLE SEARCH", which will always be the case for queries that use the &single_search parameter. The confidence score for the match is 1, the highest possible level of confidence in the match. Results are listed in descending order by matching confidence score. Use the chosen:true indicator, not the confidence score or position in the list of results, to select matches.

}Multisearch strategy
The original matching strategy for the ROR API affiliation parameter, in place since November 2019, remains available in the ROR API and can be invoked by appending &multisearch to a query.
This strategy breaks long search strings into separate substrings, performing multiple searches with these values and limiting results to records matching any countries that can be derived from the text. It then returns (if possible) the most likely match to a ROR record, as identified by a chosen:true indicator.
Additional candidates also appear in the results list and are ranked in descending order by confidence score. Only results with a score of at least 0.5 are returned.
Affiliation parameter multisearch format
https://api.ror.org/v2/organizations?affiliation=[URL-encoded-string]&multisearch
The matching types used in the multisearch strategy include the following:
PHRASE: a phrase was matched to a variant of the organization's nameCOMMON TERMS: the matching was done by comparing the words separatelyFUZZY: the matching was done by a fuzzy comparison of the words separatelyHEURISTICS: "University of X" was matched to "X University"ACRONYM: matched by acronymEXACT: exact match of the entered string in name values in thenamesfield excluding acronyms
Example
Find a matching ROR record for the string "Instituto de Investigación en Informática de Albacete (I3A), Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, Albacete, Spain" specifying the multisearch strategy.
curl 'https://api.ror.org/organizations?affiliation=Instituto%20de%20Investigaci%C3%B3n%20en%20Inform%C3%A1tica%20de%20Albacete%20%28I3A%29%2C%20Universidad%20de%20Castilla-La%20Mancha%2C%20Albacete%2C%20Spain&multisearch' | json_ppThe first item in the results list, the ROR record https://ror.org/05r78ng12 for Universidad de Castilla La Mancha, has a chosen value of true, indicating that the affiliation service considers this record a sufficiently likely match to the text string. Not all affiliation searches will produce a "chosen" result.
The matching_type is given as "PHRASE", indicating the method by which the affiliation parameter chose the matching record. The confidence score is 1, the highest possible level of confidence in the match. Results are listed in descending order by matching confidence score.
The substring used to find the match in this case is "Universidad de Castilla La Mancha."
