Política de Acceso Abierto a Datos y Publicaciones

The IAI's 2025 Open Access Policy mandates that all data and publications from IAI-funded projects be freely available, reusable, and redistributable. The policy integrates the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) for general scientific data and the CARE principles (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics) for data involving indigenous peoples and local communities. Key implementation measures for 2025-2030 include the creation of an open data catalog and an open access repository, the requirement for Data Management Plans (DMPs), and the use of persistent identifiers like DOIs. The IAI encourages the use of permissive licenses such as CC0 or CC BY and supports the deposition of biodiversity data in the GBIF platform. Financial support for data management costs may be available on a case-by-case basis, and the IAI will conduct periodic reviews of DMPs to ensure compliance.

• The IAI policy updates previous 2018 guidelines to strengthen commitment to FAIR and CARE principles and expand open access requirements to include both data and research publications.
• Data is considered 'open' if it is available in full at a reasonable reproduction cost, preferably via internet download in a practical format, and allows for reuse, redistribution, and integration without discrimination.
• The policy adopts the FAIR principles to ensure data is Findable (via catalogs and DOIs), Accessible (via sustainable repositories), Interoperable (using non-proprietary formats), and Reusable (with detailed metadata).
• For research involving indigenous peoples and local communities, the IAI implements the CARE principles to ensure collective benefit, indigenous authority over data, ethical use, and the requirement of free, prior, and informed consent.
• The 2025-2030 implementation plan includes developing an open data catalog, maintaining an open access repository for publications, and training research teams to create Data Management Plans (DMPs).
• The IAI recommends the use of permissive open licenses for data, specifically suggesting Creative Commons CC0, CC BY, CC BY-NC, or CC BY-SA.
• Biodiversity data should be deposited in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) platform, utilizing the DarwinCore standard for data and metadata.
• Researchers are required to deposit an electronic copy of the author-accepted manuscript of any peer-reviewed work supported by the IAI into the IAI Open Access Repository.
