I just looked it up for my field (Electrical Engineering). IEEE is the go to association for publishing in the EE field. When I probed a little deeper, I saw that one needs a subscription to read any of the articles. You even need to be a member of IEEE before you can get a subscription. So essentially, pretty much everything is paywalled. Even the standards, which is ridiculous. It's like having to pay in order to read the law.
