Open funder metadata is essential for true research transparency - Impact of Social Sciences Funder metadata is vital to understanding where research comes from & how it is used. But, to be truly effective it needs to be open to all.

To be truly effective funder metadata should be made openly accessible to all beyond the level of individual publications.
