My understanding is that in the EU more (or most) research is publicly founded for eg compared to the US.


The same is true for the US, as far as I know.


A lot of big research is funded through philanthropy. For example, surgeons and medical oncologist can receive some large donations from their patients.


These are a drop in the bucket compared to what's funded by HHS via the NIH.


I would think that donation based research, has strong incentives to also be open access.
