Credits different from acknowledgment or references.

  • Credits is a professional practice or contractual obligation for attribution. Expected from those making use of the source
  • Acknowledgments are more about gratitude for indirect support, mentorship, funding, emotional encouragement. Not required or expected from the creator
  • References are similar to acknowledgments, more syntetic and coincise and used explicitly in public academic environment.
