In this paper, the author shows the vast array of problems emerging if one wishes to unify all funding organization entries of a large and diverse funding body such as the German Research Foundation (DFG). After enumerating all possible sources of error found by manual sifting through all funding acknowledgement entries of German publications, a new semi-automated method, in order to facilitate the same cleaning task for future years is introduced.
