Intelligently match a free-text affiliation string (as found in academic paper bylines or grant records) to research organizations in the ROR registry. Pass the raw affiliation text exactly as it appears — e.g. "Dept. of Physics, Univ. of California, Berkeley, CA, USA" or "Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie, Heidelberg". ROR's affiliation matching algorithm performs substring detection, name-variant lookup, and scoring to identify candidate organizations. Returns each candidate with: confidence score (0–1), a "chosen" boolean (the best single match), matching_type (e.g. SINGLE SEARCH, COMMON TERMS), and the organization's ROR ID, canonical name, type, and country. Ideal for metadata curation, ORCID affiliation disambiguation, funder acknowledgment normalization, and building organization-level research analytics from unstructured text.
