Free resources in the scientific field are often hard to come by. There are free online publication websites, sometimes free editing software like Inkscape, and few other options. Usually free versions of things are a reduced sample of what you are looking for, and the total access is only provided with charge. I understand that the requirement of money is in order to sustain the platform, journal, whatever the source may be. There is also the notion that many of the presidents, editors, CEOs, and owners are extremely weathly people that have little to gain from an increased income when their pockets are already as deep as the ocean. The fundemental way of knowledge and research being shared for profit needs to change.
Of course the research requires money sought from grants and proposals and scholarships. But when those funds culminate in a conclusive publication with earth-shattering discoveries and proof of novel findings, why should only those who can afford the luxury have access to new knowledge of the very world they are living in? Scholastic articles should be nonprofit in order for the world to profit from its writing.
