Academics’ time would be far better spent on assessment, curation...

In this context, it is rather obvious that universities will have an important role to play in curating and validating the research carried out in the corporate sector. And the reason is very simple universities have lost the monopoly of research (200 companies alone already produce 40% of all research in the world) and most importantly because it is very hard to trust the research results of a corporation if negative results could mean its bankruptcy. https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2020/01/the-university-of-future.html

Still on curation and assessment is worth remembering a 2019 paper by a Stanford Full Professor who analyzed almost 50 unicorns including the Theranos fraud:

“High‐valuation companies that publish little or nothing in the peer‐reviewed literature may still have patents related to their products. One may argue that patents undergo rigorous evaluation. However, patents do not offer the same level of documentation as peer‐reviewed articles. For example, Theranos had over 100 patents, but these were unable to supplant the vacuum in their evidence....when a team of investigators used the Theranos technology to run 22 common lab tests versus the same tests run with other companies’ technologies, the problematic error rates became manifest.."
