Government funded research also has perverse incentives:

1. publish or perish, leading to lots of low quality papers

2. funding doesn't continue if one doesn't get results, leading to selection of "safe" research rather than risky research, and results that cannot be replicated

3. no funding for politically unpopular topics

and, of course, the reasons why people publish overtly fraudulent research papers.
