| Sumario: | Acknowledgments in papers represent a social phenomenon and offer alternative ways for the study of funded research (“financial” acknowledgments) and of 'hidden' co-authorship (“non-financial” acknowledgments) in scientific output. Analyses funding acknowledgments (FA) identified in papers by Brazilian authors published from 2009 to 2016 and indexed in the Web of Science (WoS), observing characteristics of the research by discipline. The corpus is composed of 268,779 papers, of which 71.4% include information on funding acknowledgments. The greater presence of FA in Q1 journals, when compared to the totality of journals (all quartiles) and minimally cited articles, when compared to the totality of articles without FA, can be considered a quality indicator of the Brazilian funded research. In general, the presence of FA in theoretical and social areas such as Social Sciences and Humanities is significantly low when compared to disciplines in experimental and applied sciences such as Physics and Chemistry and indicates a lower reliance on funding in the former. The results reveal a greater presence of FA in papers of multiple authorship, probably as a result of the complexity and financial cost of teamwork investigations. It concludes that the presence of funding acknowledgments in Brazilian papers varies according to the area due to their particularities, such as nature and orientation of the research, publication profile, organizational structure, among others. |
