In Norway any publication needs to be deposited to the national archive by law. That includes scientific journals and in theory even small publications distributed in a private setting if it's a big enough group of people (I'm not sure of the details). Not sure how it works for scientific work published in foreign publications, but I assume it's sent to the national archive as routine. However, most of the archive is not publicly accessible due to copyright, privacy etc. You can request access to specific content both as a private person and as a researcher.

In the US, I believe the Library of Congress fills a similar role.

  IIRC, some years back I read that the Library even had a full archive of all of Twitter, up to that date at least.

    They changed their policy back in 2017: However, almost 12 years of tweets is still very cool. A LOT of startups probably had quite a bit of material in those early days of social media. But today, the institution announced it will no longer archive every one of our status updates, opinion threads, and "big if true"s. As of Jan. 1, the library will only acquire tweets "on a very selective basis." The library says it began archiving tweets "for the same reason it collects other materials — to acquire and preserve a record of knowledge and creativity for Congress and the American people." The archive stretches back to Twitter's beginning, in 2006. The institution says it will continue to preserve its collection of tweets from the platform's first 12 years, but indicates that it has yet to figure out exactly how to make the archive public. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/12/26/573609499/library-of-congress-will-no-longer-archive-every-tweet https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/12/26/573609499...

the US for medical/biology papers "The National Center for Biotechnology Information" NCBI. They store papers/ abstracts in a service called pubmed, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov It works pretty well. Papers are submitted. The get a unique id. Some are stored and accessible. (Some US funding sources require public accessible papers.). NCBI has a ton of information. Its a pretty awesome resource. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov They even index the paper submitted with a controlled vocabulary of terms (within a month or two) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/

  Nearly all federally-funded (and unclassified) research needs to be publicly accessible, as per a 2013 policy memo.
