Acknowledgments http://researchlogtemplate.edublogs.org/2006/08/04/8-acknowledgments/ http://researchlogtemplate.edublogs.org/2006/08/04/8-acknowledgments/#comments Fri, 04 Aug 2006 12:59:32 +0000 researchlogtemplate http://researchlogtemplate.edublogs.org/2006/08/04/8-acknowledgments/ Give credit here to anyone who helped along the way. Describe your collaborations with your mentors. Who helped you brainstorm your questions or thesis or keywords? Who helped proofread, revise, edit your work? Who led you to solid sources? Be generous and let everyone know about your networking efforts!

Be sure to be specific about what each person contributed.  For examples:  Dr. Smith led me an important online biology journal.  John Doe helped me revise by telling me I needed a better opening sentence and suggesting that I quote a line from a rap song.

Here’s a sample acknowledgment statement.
