Use of Research Organizations Registry (ROR) identifiers in author academic profiles: the case of Google Scholar Profiles [dataset]

Document in .xlsx format. Contains 2 sheets. The first, entitled "profiles", has 10 columns (Orcid no.; id; Name; Domain; Citations; Description; Keywords; Field; Gender and Type) and 1032 rows (number of authors' profiles). The second sheet contains the discarded profiles. To protect personal data, Name column data values (Profiles Sheet: C Column; Discarded Sheet: B Column) have been replaced by a correlation number and Citations column data values (Profiles Sheet: E Column; Discarded Sheet: D Column) have been replaced by X value. The purpose of this work is to determine the use of Research Organizations Registry (ROR) IDs in author academic profiles, specifically in Google Scholar Profiles (GSP). To do this, all the Google Scholar profiles including the term ROR in any of the public descriptive fields were collected and analyzed. The results evidence a low use of ROR IDs (1,033 profiles), mainly from a few institutions.
