Not-for-profit membership association of
scholarly publishers
Assigns DOIs and maintains central
metadata for scholarly content
4000+ international publishers
All subjects, all business models
83 non-publisher affiliates, 2000 library
affiliates
62.7 million content items
A standard way of reporting funding
sources for published scholarly research
Why does this matter?
Funding bodies cannot easily track the
published output of funding
Publishers cannot easily report which
articles result from research supported by
specific funders or grants
Institutions cannot easily link funding
received to published output
Lack of standard metadata for funding
sources makes it difficult to analyse or data
mine
Funding: This research was funding by the
Landschaftsverband Rheinland, Germany (Dr.
Shiffer). The funders has no role in the study
design, data collection and analysis, decision to
publish or preparation of the manuscript
<fn fn-type="financial-disclosure">
<p>This work was supported in part by NIH
grant R01 GM094800B to G.J.J., a gift to
Caltech from the Gordon and Betty Moore
Foundation, and a stipend from the
Bayerische Forschungsstiftung to M.P.
The funders had no role in study design,
data collection and analysis, decision to
publish, or preparation of the
manuscript.</p>
