Dear community, is it not obligatory to add an Accession Number whenever publishing results derived from NGS? I think it should be, I have found several articles with no numbers and that has stopped me from doing important comparisons. Thank you for reading and good luck.

Journals will have their own requirements, I think usually they do require it, so check what the journal's policy is. If you find an article in a journal that requires the data be made available (on SRA or otherwise) and the data hasn't been made available or an accession isn't given in the paper, contact the journal and ask if they have any information. I did that once and the journal contacted the authors to have them upload their data (most of the data was there they just forgot one of the samples).

Thank you for your replies.
What I meant originally was that NGS raw data should be made public whenever you publish the corresponding paper (which would contain the accession number). In my opinion, it should be the policy of every journal.
Here's a nice additional story: Recently I asked for some raw metagenomic data sets to a research group, and the PhD student said he was very busy and that he was going to be able to upload it in two or three months. Hilarious. I will see if the journal's conditions for submission includes uploading raw data.
And here's a paper for which I couldn't find accession number or uploaded data:
Pyrosequencing Analysis of Bacterial Diversity in 14 Wastewater Treatment Systems in China
Xiaohui Wang, Man Hu, Yu Xia, Xianghua Wen and Kun Ding
Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 2012, 78(19):7042. DOI:
10.1128/AEM.01617-12.
Published Ahead of Print 27 July 2012.

a point on abstracts and accession numbers
Also when preparing or reviewing an article which should have accession numbers, make sure to see that the accession numbers appear in the article's abstract, which also has been a general requirement of journals for many years. This is important because articles behind paywalls cannot be subjected to open full text mining among other types of machine searching techniques, but the abstracts can.

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
