I'm a (PhD student) mathematician and every paper I've uploaded has included the TeX. I looked at about 10 papers in math at random, and 9/10 of them also included the TeX.

But this isn't something I've looked for in the past. So I wonder: in your experience, about what percentage of papers on the arXiv have included the source?

It's far less common in physics :/

Almost nobody in experimental life sciences uses Tex. My advisor refused to read anything that wasn't in MS Word.

We're working to provide a Word-like interface on git repositories for researchers to write their manuscripts in at authorea.com. Our editor allows researchers to write in markdown, LaTeX, or rich text all within one article.
