I have read a lot of papers that are vague with the details of implementation. Some release code that isn't portable at all and probably works only on their machine with 0 documentation.
A lot of obfuscation in general. Poor documentation and omission of critical implementation details means it's way too hard to replicate a paper.
And even if you do replicate there's no way of finding out if the output is wrong because of your implementation or the idea itself is flawed.
Doing proper documentation should be mandatory. I can only talk about CS but yeah more information.
