Despite growing awareness of the benefits of large-scale open access publishing, individual researchers seem reluctant to adopt this behavior, thereby slowing down the evolution toward a new scientific culture. We outline and apply a goal-directed framework of behavior causation to shed light on this type of behavioral reluctance and to organize and suggest possible intervention strategies. The framework explains behavior as the result of a cycle of events starting with the detection of a discrepancy between a goal and a and the selection of behavior to reduce this discrepancy. We list various factors that may hinder this cycle and thus contribute to behavioral reluctance. After that, we highlight potential remedies to address each of the identified barriers. We thereby hope to point out new ways to think about behavioral reluctances in general, and in relation to open access publishing in particular.
尽管人们越来越意识到大规模开放获取出版的好处，但个别研究人员似乎不愿采取这种行为，从而减缓了向新科学文化演变的进程。我们概述并应用了一个目标导向的行为因果框架，以阐明这种行为上的不情愿，并组织和提出可能的干预策略。该框架将行为解释为一个事件循环的结果，这个循环始于发现目标与现状之间的差异，以及选择行为来减少这种差异。我们列出了可能阻碍这个循环从而导致行为不情愿的各种因素。之后，我们强调了针对每个已识别障碍的潜在补救措施。我们希望借此指出总体上思考行为不情愿的新方法，特别是与开放获取出版相关的行为不情愿的新方法。
