Objective: the research papers explores funding patterns by discipline / area of knowledge through funding acknowledgment identified in Brazilian articles from 2009-2016 indexed in the Web of Science (WoS).
Methods: through cientometrics indicators, the different types of financing (national, international or mixed), the main types of funding agencies (national or international) and the presence of funding acknowledgments with disclosure of potential conflict of interest in four WoS disciplines were analyzed: “Economics”, “Hematology”, “Horticulture” and “Mathematics, Interdisciplinary Applications”.
Results: the results reveal clear interdisciplinary differences. There is a prevalence of national funding in “Horticulture” (81.1%), international in “Hematology” (29.5%) and “Economics” (25.3%) and mixed in “Mathematics, Interdisciplinary Applications” (20.9%). At the national level, government agencies (CNPq and CAPES) and state owned foundations appear as the main funding bodies. At the international level, there is a diversity of funding agencies from the United States and Europe, with emphasis on the National Institute of Health (NIH) for “Hematology” (31.0%). The prevalence of funding acknowledgments which highlight conflict of interest is clearly noticeable in “Hematology”.
Conclusions: we conclude that research funding statements in papers generate latent and important research data for scientometric studies that focus on acknowledgment practices in science.
