gave credit
Attributed the work
Gave credit means acknowledged someone's contribution, role, or achievement.
You give credit to collaborators on a project, to sources you've quoted, or to people whose ideas influenced your work: She gave credit to her mentor in her acceptance speech.
To give credit where credit is due is to acknowledge merit even reluctantly.
Gave credit can also mean extended a loan or believed someone: The bank gave credit to small businesses, I gave credit to his story.
