(in literary/creative arts) it is the part in your paper where you write expressions of gratitude. you thank people/organization that helped/assisted you in writing/creating a literary or artistic work (be it in the form of encouragement/moral or spiritual support, technical support, critism/editorial support, idea/conceptual support, funding/financial support, etc.).
