Most journals require you to state your funding sources. I am a current phd candidate, submitting a paper as sole author, and my funding currently comes from a teaching assistantship, which is paid for by the department, not my advisor. I feel that people usually list any grants/awards in their funding acknowledgment. What am I supposed to put? "Supported by department X in X university?"

I have seen papers say "No particular funding supported this research." You should check with your advisor– Azor Ahai -him-Commented May 12, 2021 at 20:17

Do you have other financial support for your research? Computer, desk/office, other support personnel?– Bryan Krause ♦Commented May 12, 2021 at 20:26

I have an office and laptop, but those are also paid for by the department and not my advisor.– TawCommented May 12, 2021 at 22:18

Then at a minimum I'd credit the department for funding.– Bryan Krause ♦Commented May 12, 2021 at 22:40

If the department is your affiliation on the paper, then I don't think it's necessary to separately acknowledge it for the office and computer.– Andreas BlassCommented May 13, 2021 at 2:59

A TA doesn't directly fund your research. It funds you, personally and allows you to be a student. Your research hasn't been funded specifically other than the fact that you may have an office, etc. There is probably a tuition waiver, which is a sort of general funding.
You could list the department and university generally as you suggest. You could probably also list "none", but the department might be the better option.
