I don't really have anything to say about the OP, but perhaps this will make sense. These documents are available, just not to the public. You have to pay $X per year and have proof of qualifications before you get access to databases for studies and peer reviewed content. Its not to keep the information away from the common man, any college adjunct professor could distribute the material to the public. Its not a secret, its just that it wouldn't do the public any good. The jargon and how information is presented is likely less helpful to you than if it was a foreign language.

English is not precise enough of a language. In technical writeups there can be zero room for misunderstanding because a question of whether you meant wind the air currents or wind like storing potential energy in a clock can cost the scientific community millions of hours, so instead they write the same word for wind as a dry two sentence passage using a specialized language that makes zero sense if you try to use a dictionary or thesaurus to piece it together. In short, its very technical industry specific jargon, its not English.  When I get a scan for a sprained ankle, I have zero understanding of what the radiologist's notes means because its in medical jargon that I'm not trained to read as a language. I've got a decade of formal training in reading and writing these journals and I'd be flat out lying to you if I told you I could comprehend anything outside of my field, or even complex topics in my field. I've got a grasp of researcher speak equivalent to a ten year old's grasp on English. It'll be another ten years before I have an adult's reading comprehension when it comes to journal writing.

So why does it matter, why not just be transparent and release it to the public and let them realize for themselves that it doesn't make sense to them? Well, because some words will make sense but not in the way the writer anticipated and thats frankly how you get 95% of weird pseudoscience. If you saw on the morning news, "Researchers say the status of the nuclear reactor is critical" people would panic. They'd be afraid for their lives, worried, fleeing the area. That statement means that the reactor is functioning regularly because in physics, critical in the context of a nuclear reactor means its operating normally and able to sustain itself.

I'm in no way related to the medical field.
