Data and investigations about potential conflicts of interest within academic research
Data
For our investigations and data analysis we maintain a comprehensive data catalog containing several datasets related to potential conflicts of interest in scientific research.
These datasets are on the one hand public access dumps of scientific articles from which we extract the conflict of interest statements for each author, and on the other hand control datasets from sources where authors may have disclosed potential conflicts of interest on their own or via a data aggregator.
We as well include public datasets containig metadata about organizations and companies to use to extract mentioned entities of this kind from our collection of conflict of interest statements.
To allow cross-referencing between all of this datasets, we convert the sources into a common data model called Follow The Money which was developed by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP).
Please contact us if you want to collaborate on an investigation.

COVID-19 Research Project Tracker by UKCDR & GloPID-R
This is a live database of funded research projects across the world related to the current COVID-19 pandemic, as part of the COVID CIRCLE initiative. By providing an overview of research projects mapped against the priorities identified in the WHO Coordinated Global Research Roadmap: 2019 Novel Coronavirus, we support funders and researchers to deliver a more effective and coherent global research response. To our knowledge it is one of the most comprehensive databases, covering a wide breadth of research disciplines.
