Some people believe that it is good to share as much information as possible in scientific research, business and the academic world. Other believe that some information is too important or too valuable to be shared freely. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

In

this

era, more

information

is available everywhere;

therefore

, it is widely believed that some essential

information

such

as scientific

research

should not be freely published due to funding. Meanwhile, the contrary view is that it will be better to access those without payment. I strongly believe those should be sold for investment

further

research

. As

students

are willing to gain more knowledge, they prefer to read more

research

papers on the internet in the present. Generally, that

information

will provide fundamental elements which are useful for some subjects in universities.

For instance

, most

students

must read the articles before doing the assignments, while some of them are required to pay before accessing the whole text.

This

will be an obstacle for the self-esteem of university

students

because they can afford those journals and articles.

On the other hand

, scientists should be subsidised on their

research

. According to the main requirement of conducting the

research

is a financial investment, the published papers should be received the income.

For example

, to complete

research

on a novel medicine, researchers have been paying for raw materials, testing equipment and other involving items that are extremely expensive.

This

does not include the salary of the staff yet.

Hence

, the cost of published articles should be considered reasonable. To conclude, I personally think the

information

in terms of science, business and the academic world should not be published freely due to the benefits on scientists and

further

research

although

some

students

are not able to access those.
