Arctic Science Special Issue on Knowledge Co-production

The Arctic Science special issue on Knowledge Co-production is live! Together with a team of diverse guest editors, we worked with the Arctic research community to highlight research that braided Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledge and the ways of working collaboratively. The special issue stems from 3 years of conference sessions and workshops held by the guest editors at ArcticNet. Below are links to the publications, as well as plain language summaries and social media links. All abstracts were translated into 3 languages, English, French and one Indigenous language of choice by authors. It is an open access journal so papers are accessible and free for all. ArcticNet provided funds to support the publication costs (awarded to the guest editors through a proposal).

This special issue showcases some of Canada’s strong partnerships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Arctic research communities, that share in their publications enlightening perspectives, paths taken and recommendations towards supporting concepts of Knowledge Co-production.

Author groups include academics, federal agencies (e.g. DFO, ECCC), land claim organizations, NGOs and community knowledge holders across Inuit Nunangat as well as the Gwich’in Settlement Area, with papers applicable throughout the Arctic.
