Great first step, ArXiv and similar are making great headway there; results indexed and ‘scored’ already via Google scholar. The US should really have a “national library of science” & PubScience. The mechanism and mechanics already worked out. Check the budget of the National Library of Medicine; at least an order of magnitude ( probably 2) lower than the multibillion costs of current science publishing cartels. Separately, DOD has and had for decades, the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) , that maintains all DOD technical reports (and papers, and other stuff) at various classification levels. The unclassified- approved for public release materials have been publicly accessible first a long time. In any case, great start✅💯🎯
There are many challenges though, it’s a complex web of carrots awards and rewards. Being an editor in chief likely entangled with very remunerative book publishing deals & with ascending academic ranks. So mighty moats are always in place 😎
