“…Gender was usually determined by the researchers and not through self‐identification by the authors or the people acknowledged, a method commonly used in quantitative research (e.g., Lewis‐Beck, ). Some papers clearly focus on gender research (Forzetting, ; Rong, Grant & Ward, ); however, studies like Moore (), or Cronin, Davenport, and Martinson (), which look at gender relations in acknowledgments, remain rare.…”

This review of the literature presents an overview of the last 50 years of research on acknowledgments in the context of scholarly communication. Through qualitative coding and bibliometric methods, this meta-synthesis provides an in-depth description of acknowledgments research and reveals the five main thematic categories that emerge from this corpus of literature. Adopting a historical approach, this review shows a diversified and scattered research landscape. Despite five decades of analysis putting forward the potential value of acknowledgments as markers of scientific capital, the literature still lacks consensus as to the value and functions of acknowledgments within the reward system of science.1. What is the comprehensive landscape of acknowledgments research from the past five decades? 2. Does acknowledgment research build upon the preexisting body of research? 3. What are the thematic categories of acknowledgments research and how is the literature distributed among them?Additional Supporting Information may be found online at:

Scholars in major us research universities were surveyed to explore the normative bases of acknowledgement behaviour. Measures of agreement and divergence were established in respect of five issue sets pertaining to acknowledgement practice: expectations, etiquette, ethics, equity and evaluation. The results confirm the substantive role played by acknowledgements in the primary communication process. Although few formal rules exist, it is clear that many scholars subscribe to the idea of a governing etiquette. The findings also suggest that acknowledgement data could be mined to lay bare the rules of engagement that define the dynamics of collaboration and inter‐dependence among scholars.

Of the 1,302 articles, 595 (46%) contained an acknowledgement testifying to peer interactive communication. The total number of names cited in those acknowledgement statements was 3,252, giving an average of almost 5.5 names per acknowledgement. 66% of the acknowledgements were to females and 20% to males: the remainder were either to anonymous individuals (e.g. referees) or to individuals whose gender was unknown (see Table 2 for the overall distribution of name-linked acknowledgements). The vast majority of individuals were mentioned just once. Only thirty-five (of whom thirty-four were female) were acknowledged five times or more (see Table 3). The most frequently acknowledged individual (Rayna Rapp) received twenty mentions. Of the 377 articles analysed in Feminist Studies, 199 (53%) contained a PICbearing acknowledgement. The proportion for Signs was similar-50%. In both cases, the mean number of individuals mentioned per acknowledgement was approximately 5.6. Frontiers, however, had a much lower proportion of PIC-bearing acknowledgements-25%, These, on average, cited four individuals. Females were three to four times as likely to be acknowledged as men. The approximate female/male acknowledgement ratios for Feminist Studies, Frontiers and Signs were 4:1, 3.8:1 and 2.9:1, respectively. Editorials Over the twenty year period, the editorial staffs and boards of the three journals underwent many changes, making it virtually impossible to specify the
