Public funding accountability: A linked open data-based methodology for analysing the scientific productivity and influence of funded projects. Perianes-Rodriguez, A., Olmeda-Gómez, C., Rodrigues Delbianco, N., & Cabrini Grácio, M. C. In December, 2023. doi abstract bibtex Although funding acknowledgements (FAs) have been around for nearly three decades, there are not yet enough theoretical and practical studies of them to enable FAs to be considered a consolidated area of research. Fortunately, newly published findings and promising data sources presented in recent years have helped better our understanding of the process of scientific creation and communication and provide evidence of the importance of FAs. This paper seeks to help demonstrate the crucial role FAs play in evaluating research funding's performance. A methodology based on the use of linked open metadata from diverse sources is presented for this purpose. The methodology highlights the important work analysts do to increase the accuracy, solidity, and diversity of the results of FA-based quantitative studies by gathering and analysing the data furnished by funding organisations. Lastly, the projects funded by the Spanish National Science and Research Agency from 2008 to 2020 are evaluated to verify the method's usefulness, robustness, and reproducibility. In conclusion, funding agencies' experts and analysts will find that this methodology gives them a valuable instrument for boosting the quality and efficacy of their activities, complying with transparency and accountability requirements, and quantifying the scope of funding results. Introduction Most governments plan how they intend to achieve their strategic objectives through research funding. Some of the typical objectives they seek are to obtain innovative research, get research results out into society, improve research capacity and skills, and use public resources efficiently (Lepori et al., 2023). Governments' missions include: to encourage the highest-quality research through competitive funding and to support frontier research across all fields, based on scientific excellence; to foster project-based research and stimulating innovation by promoting the emergence of collaborative multidisciplinary projects and encouraging collaboration between the public and private sectors; to promote the progress of science; and to advance national health, prosperity, and welfare by supporting basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future.
