Does state sponsored research guaranties that result will be made public and shared ?
(This is a serious question)
If so, I agree with you, If not, I see here a strong argument for crowd funded projects like that.
- rgejman 12y agoThe NIH mandates that all research it funds be placed in the public domain within 1 year of publication. http://publicaccess.nih.gov/ http://publicaccess.nih.gov/ This does not go far enough, but it is a good start. It would be better if non-published research were also placed in the public domain, but this is logistically tricky for many reasons.
- dnautics 12y agoCurrently not all state sponsored research guarantees shared results, but the NIH does (after one year). But: Not all results are guaranteed to be public, just the published work. If you really wanted to know, for state-sponsored research in the US, you could probably FOIA results, all the way down to the notebooks.
