  We analysed a sample of NLP research papers archived in ACL Anthology as an
attempt to quantify the degree of openness and the benefit of such an open
culture in the NLP community. We observe that papers published in different NLP
venues show different patterns related to artefact reuse. We also note that
more than 30% of the papers we analysed do not release their artefacts
publicly, despite promising to do so. Further, we observe a wide language-wise
disparity in publicly available NLP-related artefacts.
