<ack>

Acknowledgments

Textual material that names the parties who the author wishes to thank or recognize for their assistance in/contributions toward the article, for example, producing the work, funding the work, inspiring the work, or assisting in the research on which the work is based.

Remarks

Usage: If a figure or table has been taken directly from another work, or modified from a figure or table in another work, the <ack> element can be used to name the source and creator (and possibly the Intellectual Property rights) of the work in which the structure originated.
While many non-JATS tag sets limit the <ack> element to inside Back Matter, the Journal Archiving and Interchange Tag Set allows <ack> at either the paragraph or the section level at many places within the body. Usage within the body of an article will probably be rare.
