15. 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

16. 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
