Abstract

This study presents the primary information infrastructures used in an open science context to manage public funding for research. The information infrastructures are necessary to increase the traceability of awarded funding and to measure its impact, allowing funding agencies to design their scientific policies to be aimed at the real needs of society and to contribute to the transparency in their management and accountability. The communication also highlights the functionalities offered by ORCID and Crossref to connect results with financial actions made possible by the funding, and analyses whether they are sufficient to complete the mapping of the grants awarded.
