Funding Information

Funding information should be captured as text and metadata in <funding-group> within <article-meta>.

For deliveries to CATS suppliers must:

  • Verify Funding details against the FundRef Registry if extracting funding details from any source other than CATS XML (such as manuscript text, proof corrections, or instructions from production editors).
  • Ensure absolute consistency in funding details between TF JATS article XML, PDF, and CATS XML files at all stages when making deliveries to CATS.
  • Ensure absolute consistency in funding details between the narrative text in <funding-statement> and metadata in <award-group> elements.

Funding details should be captured within a <funding-group>, with an <award-group> containing a <funding-source> for each funding agency or funding award. The funding agency name should be captured within <named-content content-type="funder-name">, and where a funding agency is matched against the FundRef registry, or a FundRef identifier has been provided in CATS XML, the FundRef identifier should be captured as <named-content content-type="funder-identifier">. Where award or grant IDs are provided, they should be individually captured within an <award-id>, with multiple IDs for the same funding agency captured in separate <award-id> elements. The <funding-statement> should be used to capture the text included in the Funding details section of the published article. <funding-statement> should not include the title or heading of the funding section, for example <bold>Funding</bold> should not be included.

The <funding-statement> element should be rendered as required for the journal style. For example: <funding-statement> may be rendered in the PDF as a section titled "Funding" at the back of the article before the references section. Note that the "Funding" heading should not be tagged in <funding-statement>. In some journal styles the funding statement may be rendered as a footnote on the article opening page.

        </funding-source>
