Informe del Grupo de Trabajo de Ciencia y Datos Abiertos

The IAI's updated policy mandates that all data and publications from IAI-funded projects be open and accessible, adhering to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and CARE (Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, Ethics) principles. The policy expands the institute's commitment to include open access for publications as well as data. Key implementation measures include the use of Data Management Plans (DMPs), the IAI Harvard Dataverse Repository, and the GBIF platform for biodiversity data. Between 2020 and 2025, the IAI reported a 600% increase in the number of databases in its open data catalog. The 2025-2030 implementation plan focuses on training research teams, supporting regional open data networks in Latin America and the Caribbean, and increasing the capacity of end-users to reuse scientific information.

• The IAI has updated its Open Data and Publications Access Policy to strengthen adherence to the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and the CARE principles (Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, and Ethics) for indigenous data governance.
• The scope of the policy has been expanded to include not only open data but also open access for all publications and research works funded by the IAI.
• Between 2020 and 2025, the promotion of the open data catalog led to a 600% increase in the number of included databases.
• The IAI has provided training to twelve funded research teams on best practices for data management and exchange during and after their projects.
• The institute is integrating its scientific production into 'La Referencia', a regional open access repository, to improve the visibility of IAI-funded research.
• The 2025-2030 implementation plan includes four primary objectives: making IAI-funded data FAIR, facilitating CARE principles for research involving indigenous peoples and local communities, promoting open access publications, and increasing regional capacities for open data reuse.
• Researchers are encouraged to use the IAI Harvard Dataverse Repository for general datasets and the GBIF platform specifically for biodiversity data, utilizing the DarwinCore standard.
