Papers produced using any amount of taxpayer money should be required to be publicly available. Not doing so is like stealing a farmer's crops so you can sell him food made from them.
- corebit 7y agoInteresting that you mention farmers crops. Should crops produce with government subsidies also be publicly available for free?
- monocasa 7y agoI mean, there's several reasons why food stamps are part of the farm bill, this included.
- arkades 7y agoThey should be available cheaper than if they weren’t subsidized, proportional to the degree of subsidy. Which is usually the point of subsidizing something’s production. Whereas basic science is almost entirely tax funded, making a pretty good case for it being a public resource.
