Transparent audit protocols are the only solution - e.g. raw data should be immediately available upon publication, and even more rigorous protocols should be employed for grant application review (show us the daily log etc.), but those who oppose this approach say it'll expose intellectual property to outsiders causing the loss of competitive edge.

Open-source research is thus the only kind of research that should be allowable with public funds, and closed-source proprietary research shouldn't be publishable in any research journal. If people want to invest in the latter they'll be the ones responsible for due diligence, I suppose.
