When you publish something in an academic journal, the journal owns the work. The journal also sells that work and it's how it makes its money.

Yes it is, and that's the problem. I work my butt off to identify mechanisms to reduce musculoskeletal injury risk, and then to maintain my employment, I have to hand the rights to that work to a private organization that profits over it. To make matters worse, I then do the work to ensure the quality of other publications for the journal through the peer review process and am not compensated for it.
