Veracity Values Redux

"Until all data is open access, the scientific publishing hegemony is broken and no bad people exist[,] checking that data is true, or even verifiable, will cost money. Last time I looked a single scientific paper costs about $30. At that price its no wonder a professional class exists to exclude mass access to information. When I do research I might look at 100 papers, properly read 20 or so and need to read more than the abstract of 50 to see if they are relevant. That’s a hell of a commercial barrier to entry. $3000 to properly research a note that no-one may read."
