Just publishing the code is not enough, in any case. In order for the research to be verifiable, everything, from raw data to the final paper (and notes on how you went about the process) should be properly documented and available. Something along the lines of this: http://rr.epfl.ch/ http://rr.epfl.ch/
Of course, the problem with this is that it's a large amount of work and in most cases probably doesn't have a good ROI.
I have recently started to try this approach of better documenting everything, mostly because I have found it hard to go back to work I did 6 or 7 years ago and understand it (e.g. a bunch of one-off, poorly documented data processing scripts that could, if properly done, save me some time today). I haven't yet published anything like this yet, but it looks promising.
