We (w/ @msphelps.bsky.social) analyzed 153 publishers and 4 major systems to find out.

Funder information can now be added to bioRxiv preprints. Incorporation of funding organizations into the Research Organization Registry (ROR) means this is available as standardized metadata for articles.

Meet Kingy! He has been a daily visitor to our backyard for the past few weeks! What a treat to have such a beautiful guest. #kingfisher #birdwatching #nature #vroegevogels
