How many papers are there showing an even pace is most effective.

It's not. Either you mean even time splits, in which case you'd only
do that by killing yourself for the first 500m and blowing massively,
or you mean even power in which case you're caught before 1k and in
any case can't make up the time lost starting.

And you can always get something in on a sprint finish.
