Can I acknowledge God in my dissertation?
You may mention God in your dissertation, but be careful to follow tradition and thank the academics, family, and friends who assisted you. Acknowledging others helps to prevent any misconstrued ideas that they might have given you advice or help. You should start off your dissertation by thanking your supervisor for allowing you to work on it and for helping you improve as an academic. Also thank any other individuals such as parents, friends, teachers who have helped you with this work. Finally, thank a deity if you believe in them or not; although most people do now-a-days. Saying thanks can make you feel better if you are struggling with problems related to your thesis. The easiest way to do this is by using citations; which are references you find online or in books that help you with evidence or information relevant to your topic. These could be primary sources (such as interviews with participants or experts) or secondary sources (such as articles that use research done by others). When you cite something, give readers information about where you found it and how it helps with your study. For example, if you were to cite an article written by another researcher, you would need to include their name, the title of the article, and where you found it.
