Abstract

The present paper examines the generic structure of acknowledgements appearing in the DESIDOC Journal of Library & Information Technology (DJLIT) covering the period 1998-2013. There are 9.04 % articles which contained acknowledgements. Acknowledgements appearing in these articles have been classified using eight layer topology which reflected the composite nature of acknowledgements. Peer interactive communication (PIC) acknowledgements are highest (29.16 %) and Editorial/ linguistics support (E/LS) acknowledgements are lowest (1.04 %). Further individuals acknowledged in PIC acknowledgements along with their institutional affiliations have also been discussed.
