The aim of the JISC Open Access (OA) Pathfinder programme is to “develop shareable models of good practice with regard to implementation of research funders’ OA requirements”. With the sector-wide shift to OA and with growing funders’ OA mandates, the Pathfinder scheme reflects a real need to enhance compliance with the agenda. Fundamental to this project is understanding how people approach OA, and how processes can be designed to address this. This brief paper summarises an approach to building stronger institutional approaches to Open Access using intervention logic. The process, drawn from a behaviour change intervention framework supports research management and library staff to explore the key areas of change needed and consider how best to address these. The intervention mapping tool which was first trialled at a workshop on Uncovering researcher behaviours at Oxford Brookes on 20 May 2015 is supplied at the end of this document to support this process.
