    She’s wrong though, everything following the scientific method is science. The fact that you didn’t pay out of your ass to publicize your research doesn’t matter. Of course it reaches less people, but that’s a separate issue.

      The scientific method includes peer reviewing.

      You don’t have to post it on a commercial database, only free one will do. But it needs to be accessible by the world.

      True a lot of science is done in industry and the corporate world and not published to keep it a trade secret. It is still science but not shared.
