To increase the valueof Crossref funding datafor all, we need:–– all publishers to deposit accurate funder names andIDs in their metadata

–– all funders to make use ofour search interfaces and APIsto retrieve valuable information about the publications that are resulting from their grants

And we need your help in coming up with ideas on howto reach both groups. We’re holding a contest during the meeting for the best outreach ideas. Make them as creative and impactful as you can as prizes will be awarded at theend of Day 2.

Crossref manages the Open Funder Registry, a curated list of over 11,000 international funding bodies. As publishers deposit metadata with us,we are the only central source of funding acknowledgements in publications. We link funders to these research outputs and make this availableto funders, publishers, researchers, service providers so that the entire research ecosystem can track the impact of research funding.

Funding data summary

• Crossref’s database is the only central source of standardised funding acknowledgements 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

Clinical Trials metadata

Clinical trial metadata

Three new fields available in the metadata deposit:

• clinical trial number• clinical trial registry where trial is registered• trial stage (pre-results, results, post-results of the trial)

Linked Clinical Trials pilot

• Deposit of registered clinical trial numbers (CTNs) referenced in articles• Links to other articles that also reference the same CTN• Pre-results, results, post-results all threaded together• Display all linked publications in CrossMark directly on

Crossref funder matching

Attempting to match deposited funder names with no ID

Very conservative approach

Picking up about 26% of names with no IDs

50k funder names per month with no ID
