Ringgold Solutions, part of Copyright Clearance Center, is the leading provider of organizational data and data cleansing services to the academic publishing and scholarly communications sector. We supply high-quality organization identifiers and structured metadata that enable publishers, funders, and intermediaries to connect systems and strengthen links across the research supply chain.
At the centre of our work is Ringold Organizations — a database of over 750 000 research and education-related organizations worldwide. Our data is maintained and continuously enhanced by an international network of specialist contract researchers.
We are expanding this network and are looking for detail-oriented, analytically strong freelance researchers to support the ongoing development and verification of our global organization database.
About the Role
This is not basic data entry, there is also a significant amount of research involved.
You will analyse organizations in different countries and languages to accurately classify, structure, and verify them within our database. This involves analysing institutional websites, understanding corporate and academic hierarchies, and making informed judgements about organisational status and relationships.
Work is project-based and offered on an as-needed basis.

Key Responsibilities
- Conduct structured web-based research on organisations to verify their identity, status, hierarchy, and subject focus
- Analyse source materials in local languages to accurately interpret organisational structure and relationships
- Create, update, and maintain structured organisation records to the highest data integrity standards
What We’re Looking For
This role suits individuals who enjoy analytical research, structured information work, and resolving ambiguity.
You should have:
- Fluency in at least one of the listed languages and strong cultural understanding
- Excellent attention to detail and high accuracy standards
- Strong online research and verification skills
- The ability to interpret organisational structures and corporate hierarchies
- Confidence working independently with minimal supervision

A degree is useful but not essential.
