摘要

This study investigates the emergence and prevalence of “wartime acknowledgments” among Ukrainian scientists amidst the Russo-Ukrainian war. Using Scopus, 2762 publications featuring acknowledgments by Ukrainian authors between 2022 and February 2024 were analysed, with a focus on identifying and quantifying acknowledgments expressing gratitude to Ukrainian defenders. Results indicate that “wartime acknowledgments” constituted 7% of total acknowledgments of Ukrainian authors, primarily expressing gratitude for the personal security that allowed researchers to complete and present the research results. Notably, despite technical limitations and editorial constraints, acknowledgments to Ukrainian defenders were found across various scientific fields, signalling a resurgence of acknowledgment traditions in Ukrainian scientific literature amidst crisis. This study sheds light on the role of acknowledgments as meta-messages and calls for further research to explore editorial norms and ethical considerations surrounding the publication of such acknowledgments.
