> What percentage of published research is done by a university versus a private entity?

What incentive is there for a private entity to openly publish valuable research in the first place? Except in certain unusual situations (monopoly justification a la Bell Labs, PR, patent applications), I would expect that private entity research results would be kept private by default so the business can maximally exploit it without assisting its competition.
