Open access and knowledge sharing: reflections on the Pathfinder projects and Open Access Good Practice initiative

The Jisc-funded Open Access Good Practice (OAGP) initiative is a community-led support programme which aims to develop and share best practices when implementing open access (OA) workflows, systems and procedures across UK higher education institutions (HEIs). As part of this programme, nine Pathfinder projects were established in 2014. This paper highlights a selection of thoughts and reflections from project members about their experience of participating in the programme.
