acknowledgments in academic papers

Acknowledgments in academic papers are sections where authors recognize and thank individuals, organizations, or institutions that contributed to their research but are not listed as authors. This may include funding sources, technical assistance, mentorship, or access to equipment and data. It helps transparently show support and collaboration behind the work, giving credit to those who helped facilitate the research process. These notes also highlight the collaborative nature of scholarly work and ensure proper recognition of contributions that supported the study’s successful completion.
