Identify Database

Transforming Data to Power Scholarly Publishing

Scholarly publishing is more reliant on data and systems than ever before. Successful publishers and intermediaries will be able to leverage their information assets, gaining deep insight into their business, efficiencies across workflows, and a competitive advantage in the market. By helping to transform raw data into an asset, Ringgold can empower scholarly publishers – and the partners that serve them – to face the new interconnected and data-driven environment.

Organizations play multiple roles for publishers and intermediaries: licensees, consortia, prospects, funders, and affiliations of authors, reviewers, editors, and more. Normalizing and enriching organization-related data is a major step in treating your data like the valuable asset it is. Ringgold’s Identify Database is the leading organizational reference database serving the scholarly, academic, and research fields, and has been a key component of successful data strategies for more than 15 years.
