I can honestly not think of a single reason why anyone would consider sharing the sources of a published article (which are already public) either "weird" or "tacky"... I guess this must be related to the different disciplines of research. | |

I'm not saying you should categorically not do it, but it could be seen as very presumptuous depending on your relationship with the author. | |
