Using WoS's Funding Text field, the acknowledgments for six peer universities were identified and then characterized. The efficacy of using WoS to locate library acknowledgments was assessed by comparing the WoS Funding Text search results to the actual acknowledgment text found in the articles.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Findings<\/jats:title>\n Acknowledgments to libraries were found in articles at all six peer universities, though the absolute and relative numbers were quite low (< 0.5%). Most of the library acknowledgments were for resources (collections, funding, etc.), and many were concentrated in natural history (e.g. zoology). Examination of Texas A&M University zoology articles found that 91.7% of the funding information came from \u201cacknowledgments\u201d and not specifically a funding acknowledgment section. The WoS Funding Text search found 56% of the library acknowledgments compared to a search of the actual acknowledgment text in the articles.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Research limitations<\/jats:title>\n Limiting publications to journals, using a single truncated search term, and including only six research universities in the United States.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n This study examined library acknowledgments, but the same approach could be applied to searches of other keywords, institutions\/organizations, individuals, etc. While not specifically designed to search general acknowledgments, WoS's Funding Text field can be used as an exploratory tool to search acknowledgments beyond funding.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n There are a few studies that have examined library acknowledgments in the scholarly literature, though to date none of those studies have examined the efficacy of using the WoS Funding Text field to locate those library acknowledgments within the journal literature.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2478\/jdis-2020-0023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,10]],"date-time":"2020-07-10T12:34:39Z","timestamp":1594384479000},"page":"178-186","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Acknowledgment of Libraries in the Journal Literature: An Exploratory Study"],"prefix":"10.2478","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"David E.","family":"Hubbard","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Texas A&M University, University Libraries , TAMU 5000 College Station , Texas , USA"}]},{"given":"Sierra","family":"Laddusaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Texas A&M University, University Libraries , TAMU 5000 College Station , Texas , USA"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,3]]},"reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Chubin, D.E.
