About this Webinar:

This webinar introduces the new Guidelines for the Governance of Indigenous Data in Scholarly Publishing, which offer a hierarchical framework of implementation strategies tailored to diverse publishing contexts. The guidelines provide clear, actionable steps for integrating Indigenous rights and interests into manuscript submission, review, curation, and dissemination processes. We also highlight endorsements from major publishers and outline next steps for adoption and evaluation. These guidelines aim to support Indigenous scholars and communities in navigating the publishing landscape while ensuring that Indigenous data are protected, governed, and shared with purpose, authority, and intention.
