It isn't perfect but you also unfairly set up a few straw man arguments.

>>Greater recognition needs to be given to the value of data gathering, analysis and communication

>By whom? I think most experimental scientists are pretty convinced of the value of gathering data!

Yes experimental scientists are convinced - this is why it needs to be recognised - i.e. by hiring committees

>>Publishing data in a reusable form to support findings must be mandatory

>Fine but probably pointless. The raw data is available, it's the data processing that is the argument.

Not pointless. The raw data is commonly available in Astro-Physics maybe - this isn't the case for nearly all other sciences.

I agree though. The bigger challenge is the publishing model in general, which is supremely broken.
