From my limited experience math/comp-sci paper drafts tend to be available for free. Totally not the case for e.g. neurology sadly.

Yes, the papers themselves are usually easy to find for free. The code and data, though, not so much.

This seems orthogonal to the topic under discussion though. I don't believe GP was saying the publications are perfect.

No, but codifying access requirements might be the right opportunity to require code/data sharing. After all, some research is next to useless without it and the public paid for the code as much as the paper.
