This document discusses Crossref's funding data repository, which standardizes funder names to allow for large-scale analysis of funding information from publications. It provides instructions for publishers to deposit funding metadata through regular metadata deposits or bulk uploads. Accurately depositing full funder names and grant numbers is important so funders can locate published outcomes. Crossref's database is becoming a central source of standardized funding metadata relied on by many organizations.

12. Depositing funding information
• Do it so that funders can locate and record published
outcomes
• Deposit good quality funding data - funder names
without funder IDs are invisible
• Give authors clear instructions and guidance on citing
funders correctly
• Full funder name not project acronym
• Include grant numbers

13. In summary
• Crossref’s database is the only central source of
standardised funding acknowledgement metadata
from publications
• Accuracy of funding metadata is critical
• An increasing number of organizations and projects
rely on this funding data to identify content and check
compliance with funder policies
• Get involved and make the funding data from your
publications available, accurate and transparent
