“…Innes () noted that gender‐focused data were not always available: “Overall, 1,480 women and 2,281 men were identified, with 2,398 individuals not identified by gender” (p. 126). 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:

“…Few studies have looked at the gender of individuals named in the acknowledgements of scientific publications. Hoder-Salmon (1978), Lewis-Beck (1980), and Coates (1999) have discussed the gender issue of scientific credit distribution looking at the contributions of spouses through the analysis of scholarly books' acknowledgements. Moore (1984) investigated the effect of authors' gender on the content of their acknowledgements, and more specifically on the gender of those acknowledged.…”

Acknowledgements found in scholarly papers allow for credit attribution of nonauthor contributors. As such, they are associated with a different kind of recognition than authorship. While several studies have shown that social factors affect authorship and citation practices,few analyses have been performed on acknowledgements. Based on 878,250 acknowledgees mentioned in 291,167 papers published between 2015 and 2017, this study analyzes the gender and academic status of individuals named in the acknowledgements of scientific papers. Our results show that gender disparities generally found in authorship can be extended to acknowledgements, and that women are even more underrepresented in acknowledgements section than in authors’ lists. Our findings also show that women acknowledge proportionally more women than men do. Regarding academic status, our results show that acknowledgees who have already published tend to have a higher position in the academic hierarchy compared with all Web of Science (WoS) authors. Taken together, these findings suggest that acknowledgement practices might be associated with academic status and gender.

The Effects of Marital Status and Wives' Employment on the Salaries of Faculty Men:

Wives contribute both directly and indirectly to their husbands' careers. For men in some occupations, wives' contributions should lead to higher salaries. In addition, if wives who are not employed contribute more to their husbands' careers than employed wives, men with nonemployed wives should enjoy greater financial benefits than men with employed wives. This study examines data for a national sample of faculty men to determine whether marital status and wives' employment appear to affect men's salary levels. Findings reveal a monotonic increase in earnings corresponding to the hypothesized levels of contributions that men received from wives: men with employed wives had higher salaries than never-married men, while men with nonemployed wives had the highest salaries. This pattern is partly attributable to differences in employment characteristics and achievement levels between these categories of men. However, a direct relationship between salary, and marital status and wives' employment remains after controlling many variables known to affect faculty salaries.
