The authors humbly acknowledge, respect and value that Indigenous peoples are diverse and constitute many nations, cultures and language groups. Many Indigenous peoples also exist as governments in treaty relations with settler-colonial societies, and all Indigenous peoples have inherent rights under international law. The language and terminology used should reflect the local context(s) and could include, but are not limited to, terms such as Aboriginal, Bagumani, Cherokee, First Peoples, First Nations, Inuit, Iwaidja, Kungarakan, Lakota, M\u0101ori, M\u0450tis, American Indian, Navajo, Wagadagam, Wiradjuri, Yurok, etc) people. These practices can minimise, correct and address biases that tend to privilege Euro-Western perspectives. Ethical publishing practices can minimise and address harms, such as appropriation and misuse of knowledges; strengthen mechanisms of accountability to Indigenous peoples and communities; ensure that tobacco control research is beneficial and meaningful to Indigenous peoples and communities; and support Indigenous agency, sovereignty and self-determination. To ensure ethical practice in tobacco control, the research methodology and methods must incorporate tangible mechanisms to include and engage those Indigenous peoples that the research concerns, affects and impacts.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Tobacco Control<\/jats:italic>is currently missing an ethical research and evaluation publishing protocol to help uphold ethical practice. The supporters of this Special Communication call on<jats:italic>Tobacco Control<\/jats:italic>to adopt publication practice that explicitly upholds ethical research and evaluation practices, particularly in Indigenous contexts. We encourage researchers, editors, peer reviewers, funding bodies and those publishing in<jats:italic>Tobacco Control<\/jats:italic>to reflect on their conduct and decision-making when working, developing and undertaking research and evaluation of relevance to Indigenous peoples.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Tobacco Control<\/jats:italic>and other publishers, funding bodies, institutions and research teams have a fundamental role in ensuring that the right peoples are doing the right work in the right way. We call for<jats:italic>Tobacco Control<\/jats:italic>to recognise, value and support ethical principles, processes and practices that underpin high-quality, culturally safe and priority-driven research, evaluation and science that will move us to a future that is commercial tobacco and nicotine free.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/tc-2022-057702","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,13]],"date-time":"2023-02-13T18:20:12Z","timestamp":1676312412000},"page":"e240-e245","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Ethical publishing in \u2018Indigenous\u2019 contexts"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2770-0686","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raglan","family":"Maddox","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Drummond","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michelle","family":"Kennedy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sydney A","family":"Martinez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8078-0283","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew","family":"Waa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8087-9929","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patricia","family":"Nez Henderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hershel","family":"Clark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Penney","family":"Upton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2330-3736","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juliet P","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Billie-Jo","family":"Hardy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8444-6410","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"El-Shadan","family":"Tautolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shane","family":"Bradbrook","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tom","family":"Calma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa J","family":"Whop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024112221203520000_33.e2.e240.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0b013e318219c171"},{"key":"2024112221203520000_33.e2.e240.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"480","DOI":"10.1111\/1753-6405.12704","article-title":"Indigenous health program evaluation design and methods in Australia: a systematic review of the evidence","volume":"41","author":"Lokuge","year":"2017","journal-title":"Aust N Z J Public Health"},{"key":"2024112221203520000_33.e2.e240.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-publhealth-040617-014128"},{"key":"2024112221203520000_33.e2.e240.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1010024016308"},{"key":"2024112221203520000_33.e2.e240.5","unstructured":"Foucault M , Ewald F . \u201cSociety must be defended\u201d: lectures at the coll\u00e8ge de france, 1975-1976.
