Process for review of publications. 1.1.1 Once the research has reached a stage where there are specific findings that could form the basis of a publication, the Researcher responsible for this specific research, or, if not possible, a representative of the Research Team, makes efforts to travel to meet the specific Elders and Healers who contributed the Iiyiyiu Traditional Knowledge or identified the plant examined in the research. This is particularly relevant if the findings are in an area that has never been discussed with the Elders before. Together they discuss the findings and seek a consensus for preparing a manuscript on this joint work. If they wish, the Elders and Healers may also take advantage of this meeting to provide comments concerning the areas they would like the Researchers to focus on, such as for example particular plants, symptoms or human organs or share concerns they may have for which research could be useful, for example regarding methods of extraction or conservation of plants. This discussion can also occur through the periodic scientific meetings of the Team where Researchers present updates on specific findings to the other scientists and to certain Elders, Healers and representatives from the Participating Cree First Nations. The Elders and Healers and the community liaison who were at the meeting will then discuss this information with the other Elders and Healers in their community and obtain their comments on these findings and provide them to the Researchers. If a face to face meeting with Researchers is still deemed necessary, a representative of the Research Team will travel to the relevant community/communities as described above.
