It is good thinking, but I am sorry to say that too much of science
today is "proprietary" in one sense or another. If you interested then
there is a lot to study and think about. Some of my favorite questions are:
- Who decide what research to do? Why? Consequences?
- Who decide what framework/paradigm to use? Why? Consequences?
- Who decide what we can read without paying? Why? Consequences?
- Who decide who can do research? Why? Consequences?
Perhaps read Pierre Bourdieu, Michael Focault. There is a lot more than
positivistic thinking to look into.
