Notes from 5/2/2023 meeting

Tom is Director, Production Technology Development at Sage and the Metadata Quality contact at Crossref. His team supports the publishing workflows and downstream uses such as Crossref and discovery services. They've been working with Crossref on a number of things over the years, including on institutional identifiers.

Sage isn't using ROR right now but is interested in it -- depends on submission primarily. Of 1200-1300 Sage journals perhaps: 99% are using ScholarOne. They are a pretty heavy Ringgold organization and are looking to get out of that, having ROR instead in the article workflow.

Tom is also interested in matching institutional identifiers to older content text strings. Ringgold is very granular but not easy to use. He's all for open APIs that can let us do the work that we want to do. It would be a benefit for Sage to use ROR.

Amanda asks about Sage's journals affiliation search at https://journals.sagepub.com/search/advanced?SeriesKey=sgoa -- that's only using text strings. Handled by product team.

Amanda asks about using Ringgold to manage APCs -- very complicated, but they're taking good steps. Helen Duce (?) is head of both Product and what they call "OA Service Design" -- you can mention Tom. [email protected]

Amanda will follow up with a bunch of links about text string to ROR ID matching.
