What happens to research that is funded by taxpayers? A lot ends up in subscription-only journals, protected from the eyes of most by a paywall.
But a new initiative known as Plan S could change that. Plan S focuses on making all publicly funded research immediately fully and freely available by open access publication.
It sounds like a good idea – but there are possible downsides. This model could potentially undermine peer review, the process vital for ensuring the rigour and quality of published research. It could also increase costs of publication for researchers and funding bodies. So let's do Plan S right.
Taxpayers will have the right to see the research they paid for?

And here's you pretending it's not a thing like the lying liar you are.
In case you've just got out of a thirty year stretch in jail... since about the 1990s when the Prime Minister of Australia (funny, that) was trying to freak out voters about not-white immigrants and refugees. Also, you should give https://google.com/ [google.com] a try, it's really good at answering basic questions of modern life in exchange for raping your privacy.
Nobody is popularizing the word. It's in common usage because it's a common technique used by (mostly) fascists and racists. For some reason they haven't yet killed themselves all, or even simply just shut up. They really should. Also, we don't really have mass market flying cars yet. Sorry.
Offended and laughing about it.

I think it is pretty likely there is some propaganda source putting it in people's heads:
