If I'm not mistaken, many publicly funded studies end up behind paywalls. Terrible model. Especially in the age of wiki based media. Combine this problem with low quality science necessitated by the publish or perish doctrine, failure to incentivize publishing of negative results, p-value misuse, and the reproducibility crisis of soft sciences, and it is almost a wonder that we make any progress at all! Also ironic that an institution dedicated to order and objectivity suffers from problems with both.
Loosley related commentary: perhaps it is illustrative of the difficulty in bridging the steep impedance mismatch between idea and practice.
