Yup, freely available and interesting.

If I understand Robin Hanson's philosophies and values correctly, I believe he might suggest that these metanalyses are a public good, and should be subsidized. Given that most of this research is already publicly funded, this might simply be a shift in funding priorities for institutions like NIH.
