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.
