Advocacy- some examples

» LOCH Pathfinder (Edinburgh, St Andrews, Heriot Watt)» Managing as a project (milestones, benefits)

» Piquing interest using the HEFCE stipulation of possible extra credit for ‘Research Environment’

» Focusing on schools/ departments as a means to getting more buy-in- encouraging each school/ department to have a projects plan but backed up by centralised support

» High-level announcement- outlines possibility of unclassified or zero score

» Comprehension form for new starters

» On acceptance… what do I do now? Add to CRIS (PURE) or contact central support

» Dry-runs? Naming and shaming (handled sensitively)..?

» Underlying message- DO IT NOW!

» Making Sense Pathfinder (Oxford Brookes, Portsmouth, Notts Trent)

» Encouraging behavioural change of researchers

» Baselining (CIAO and MIAO tools) – benchmarking tools for institutional readiness for OA.

› Tools can be used at all levels- OA Steering groups, dept/ faculty- level but the onus being on all stakeholders contributing

› Can potentially clarify the path forward and a means of leveraging institutional resource

» Followed up by ethnographic interviews with researchers:

› Going into and being part of the researchers’ world to draw out

best practice

› Responses codified to draw out key themes

› Working towards researcher- centred worklows
