1
00:00:00,310 --> 00:00:00,550
Okay.

2
00:00:00,570 --> 00:00:04,100
The next section after the discussion section are the acknowledgements.

3
00:00:04,110 --> 00:00:10,050
Which is really a very very small section. And the only thing you need to include in that section is

4
00:00:10,050 --> 00:00:11,320
two things.

5
00:00:11,370 --> 00:00:17,160
First of all, you want to mention sources of funding. And if the funding comes from your supervisors, which

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,510
is most of the time, then they will be able to tell you what information you need to put here.

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,390
And second, you can use the acknowledgements section to thank people who have contributed to your research

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,960
without really being co-authors.

9
00:00:30,060 --> 00:00:36,270
So this can be colleagues or even friends or family or it can be anonymous reviewers who pointed out

10
00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:40,800
something that really really helped to improve your manuscript. And that's already it.

11
00:00:40,830 --> 00:00:45,940
So you just put a new heading "acknowledgements" under your text.

12
00:00:46,050 --> 00:00:51,090
Then you mention (just in text) the sources of funding. You think that people have contributed to your

13
00:00:51,090 --> 00:00:53,130
research and you're done.

14
00:00:53,420 --> 00:00:57,210
And in the next lecture I will show you how you can easily create a reference list.
