Journals must require source code and data sets to publish by

It is understandable that you might not be able to reproduce a paper that does a natural science experiment, given that physics is brutal.
But for papers that have either source code or data sets, academic journals must require that those be made available, or refuse to publish.
Any document without such obvious reproducibility elements is a white paper, not a proper peer reviewed paper.
