There are basically two types of funding acknowledgements:
Research funding acknowledgements: This type clarifies the project and funding context in which a research contribution was produced.
Publication funding acknowledgements: This type discloses the financial support the publication itself has received, e.g., from institutional publication funds, printing cost subsidies from foundations or publication grants from the German Research Foundation (DFG).
In any case, it is important for a funding acknowledgement that the requirements of the respective funding organisation are observed and that correct and complete information about the funding is provided.
This ensures that funding details are correctly recorded in databases such as Web of Science and that error-free bibliometric analyses are possible.
