I've used my tablet for anything that involves taking notes, jotting down information quickly, or annotating documents. Basically instead of carrying around two or three binders with papers scattered everywhere, I keep everything in my tablet. I also access electronic text books online, print copies to my disk, and take notes there rather than buying the full books.
They have a relatively large circulation and a quite general coverrage.
Specialized journals such as the Journal of Biological Chemistry http://www.jbc.org/ and Journal of Virology http://jvi.asm.org/ (two that I'm very familiar with) also add targeted advertising (just like google but without the guess work).
I haven't read any journals targeted towards this audience, but my guess is there's advertising in those as well. These scientists must use some resources, whether it's software, raw materials for experimentation or equipment and likewise there are companies that must provide these materials.
Perhaps it's not enough income to get a project like this off the ground, but it might be just enough to maintain it. In any event, I wouldn't discount the possibility of providing targeted advertising as a means of income to supplement costs of providing this service.
Look at Science http://www.sciencemag.org/ or Nature http://www.nature.com/. There are targeted advertisements towards the scientific professions. It's certainly feasible to do something similar here.
The government already funds and makes available research... http://www.pubmed.com/ for instance is all funded by the NIH (National Insititute of Health). Any article that is archived in the pubmed database was research originally funded by government grants and government money is being used to provide a "free" host so the public can access the data.
Still, at this point, the NIH is only providing a database for all the research and hosting a fraction of it (that it has rights to). The publishing was still done by private publishers.
But again, the article mentions that this type of research is not funded by government grants, so what right does the government have to step in?

In my spare time, I use my tablet as a sketchpad, using the free program Artrage http://www.ambient.gen.nz/artrage.html.
So instead of carrying around all my books, all my binders, my laptop and my PDA, I have everything on my tablet.
