The
acknowledgements section of a manuscript provides an opportunity to recognize
intellectual, technical, or other contributions that do not merit authorship.
Listing the graduate student in the acknowledgements section is based on
the student’s original agreement on contributions to the study. However,
although not reflected in the written agreement, the graduate student actually
conducted data collection and analysis, and played a significant role in
the manuscript preparation and revision process. In all likelihood, these
contributions should merit listing the graduate student as an author.
