|Title=Ley 26.899, Repositorios digitales institucionales de acceso abierto. (2013),  Argentine National Congress
|Is About=''Ley 26.899, Repositorios digitales institucionales de acceso abierto'' (2013), enacted by the Argentine National Congress, establishes national expectations for open science and open access in Argentina. Written in Spanish, it frames openness as the default while respecting ethics, privacy, intellectual property, and security, guided by the principle “as open as possible, as closed as necessary.” The law emphasizes open access to publications through trusted institutional repositories, preferred licensing such as Creative Commons, persistent identifiers, and FAIR data principles supported by data management plans. Responsibilities for researchers, institutions, and funders are clearly defined, including rights retention, acknowledgment of funding, and transparent management of embargoes or exceptions. Supporting infrastructure repositories, registries, discovery services, and research information systems—ensures compliance and visibility, aligning Argentine practices with international initiatives like Plan S and the European Open Science Cloud. Equity, inclusion, and responsible openness are central, with safeguards for sensitive and Indigenous data. Serving as both a benchmark and practical checklist, the law provides actionable guidance to enhance transparency, reproducibility, and equitable access to research in Argentina.
