How to Write Acknowledgment for a Research Paper

The preparation of a final year project demands a lot from the student. Months of pouring over books, doing research, and receiving guidance from supervisors. It is a moment that generates tension in the whole family and friends who accompany the student in this stage of his/her life. When creating the acknowledgment section in your final year project, remember those who contributed to your work and supported your entire effort.

In our article, we will explain what the “acknowledgment” section is in a final year research paper and provide some templates to inspire you.

What are the acknowledgments in the research paper?

The acknowledgment part of a project is “written freely” in thanks to the people or institutions that made a difference at that time and contributed to the realization of your project. As an optional item in a project, the ideal is that the acknowledgments are objective. Although there is no limit on lines, avoid placing a line of thanks for each person you want to thank, so that the text does not get tiring. Instead, write a text where you can quote people’s names without leaving a structure.

What is the importance of acknowledgment?

As the acknowledgment is not a mandatory item and does not influence the note of the research, people prefer to dedicate themselves to the development of the final project and end up not worrying about acknowledgment. When you dedicate yourself to a project, you usually give up something. You need to cut down on family gatherings, going out with friends, and you can’t always pay attention to the people around you. They, in turn, understand your moment and try to give you the strength to be able to complete your research paper (project) and overcome another challenge.

Every project needs a supervisor to help you direct your work correctly. Also, throughout your graduation, some teachers must have helped you in some way. Just like the institutions where you did internships or volunteer work.

Did you notice that several people and institutions were connected to your life at that time? Why not thank them? This is the space that you have, within your graduation work, to recognize all those involved in it. Nothing more worthy!

Where to include and what is the format of the acknowledgments?

The acknowledgment must come after the dedication. The formatting must obey the same criteria as the other parts of the project:

The font must be Arial, in size 10 or Times New Roman, in size 12.
5 spacing between lines.
The text must be justified.
Centralized “Thanks” title, in capital letters and bold.
The acknowledgment page must appear at the beginning of the project and has no numbering.
How to create acknowledgment?

As it is a free-writing script, the rules are only restricted to formatting. The ideal is that it is not long, but that allows you to thank everyone within a single text. But you can write a text for each group. Example a text aimed at the whole family and friends, another aimed at teachers, at the University, at God or another spiritual entity, and many others.
