I am looking for a (preferably derogatory) term to evoke the steaming, interconnected mess of for-profit academic publishing, research-institution and funding-body selection criteria, and research career structure.

I was thinking of something like an analogue to "military-industrial complex" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military%E2%80%93industrial_complex) - so something like "academic-publishing research-institution industrial complex".

I would greatly appreciate suggestions for a name for this.
