I have resolved to, whenever possible, publish with a paper all the
data and source code I used to obtain that paper's results.

That way anyone can download everything, replicate the results, and
see how it was done. It also causes the tools and languages used to be
mentioned somewhere. In the paper itself, I put something along the
lines of "The data and the IDL source code used to produce the results
shown here are available at xxx".

Just as arXiv requests the LaTeX source files and there are archives
to publish the data produced for the paper, I think publishing source
code should be standard practice.

Though, I've never published in Nature...
