12. Research journal article-Acknowledgments and References

Give credit where credit is due. Check the format in the Instructions for/to Contributors/Authors and a recent issue for details. This is especially important for the References section. As for the Acknowledgments section, it is rather simple but sometimes grammatical problems arise. In 12.1 are some flawed examples from different Acknowledgment sections. Can you identify the problems and improve the sentences?

12.1 Exercise: Edit the following sentences from Acknowledgments sections. The first one has been done for you.

1. We thank to Ms. Yoshida and Ohta for technical assistance.
