# Who uses research funded from Finland

Where the papers funded from Finland are cited inside the 400 tracked journals: by country, by institution and by funder, and whose research the papers from Finland cite. A citation link is one paper citing another, both in the tracked journals (from OpenAlex references). The source is the country of the cited paper's funders (OpenAlex funders and their countries); the users are the countries and institutions of the citing paper's authors. A link counts once for each funding country of the cited paper and each country (or institution) of the citing paper, so the rows overlap. Papers without funding information, about half of them, have no source.
