A separate page of Acknowledgments may be included at the end of any paper to recognize resources that assisted you but are not listed elsewhere, for example, a librarian or relative or classmates who helped you develop ideas or resources or who reviewed a draft for you. Acknowledgments traditionally appear in paragraph format rather than lists. If your paper has a Works Cited, include the Acknowledgments page afterwards.
