Writing ‘acknowledgements’ in manuscripts: More than gratitude!
Abstract
In scientific manuscripts, authorship is based on substantial contributions to the research; all other contributions are acknowledged. Acknowledgements may be for intellectual inputs, financial or technical support, sharing data or other materials, and help in manuscript writing. Any non-scientific contribution need not be acknowledged. The acknowledgement should be a simple statement without embellishments and specific regarding the contributions. Writing appropriate acknowledgements in manuscripts gives due credit to the contributors.
