Crediting and citing Indigenous Knowledges within research.

Knowledge exchanges between Indigenous and scientific communities occur regularly, with researchers frequently seeking and benefiting from Indigenous Knowledge holders. These exchanges inherently demonstrate the value and authority of Indigenous Knowledges within academia; however, the traditional academic system lacks formal processes for crediting and citing such Knowledges. Given the complexity, diversity, and uniqueness of Indigenous cultures around the world, different approaches to assigning appropriate credit are required for different cultural groups-there is no "one size fits all" approach. In Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (First Nations) communities have knowledge traditions reaching back millennia, with high diversity in knowledge reproduction, partitioning, access, and governance among nations. We demonstrate the complexity of crediting and citing Indigenous Knowledges across Australia, so that other regions of the world can adapt to their own contexts; the structural complexity of First Nations groups requires careful, considered, and context-specific approaches.
