This describes the earth sciences about 5 yrs ago. People (around here at least) are seeing the light. A big driver of the change is the emphasis on data management and archiving that is coming from the NSF. Many research programs have to make data available post-publication or risk cutting off funding. Not sure if this is yet the case in the health sciences.
