Research data doesn’t stand alone: it’s funded by grants, produced by people, and cited in publications. DataErai maintains a research-record graph that connects your data to this context, so credit, funding, and outputs travel with the data.

​
What’s in the research record

  • Grants and funding agencies — the awards and funders behind the work.
  • Works — scholarly publications, aligned with open scholarly metadata (OpenAlex), along with their authors, institutions, sources, and topics.
  • People — canonical researcher identities, including identifiers like ORCID.
Together these let you answer questions like which grant funded this data? and which publications came out of it? — and they complement the provenance you capture between assets.

​
Working with grants today

Grants and funding agencies are available through the DataErai API. You can list and create them programmatically and associate them with your work — see the API reference. The broader scholarly graph (works, people, institutions, topics) is maintained as connected reference data that links your research to its published context.
