The practice of statistical consulting has related issues -- however, in many places (including my current "departments") acknowledgements are seriously frowned upon, since they can put you in the worst of all worlds -- not only do you not get formal credit (CV material), but you can get external blacklash if blame needs to be assigned. This can be summarized as: if one contributed intellectually, be an author, but make sure not to be around to get tainted if you don't have control over the content (as an author). best, -tony -- A.J.
