The other problem, aside from the obscurity of many papers which would make them not of interest to the general public, is the sheer number of papers. Even if this were limited to one field (say psychology, since it's the one I'm in and therefore know most about), you've got, arguably, four or five subfields and then a huge amount of variation within each field. While I think your idea is wonderful, unfortunately the practical questions would render it impossible.
