I would like to record here an example of how effortlessly and knowingly Richard D. Gill makes false claims and false statements.
In one of his papers in the journal
Entropy, of which he (at least for now) is one of the editors, he makes the following claim regarding my paper published in
Royal Society Open Science:
Richard D. Gill wrote:
I wrote complaining that my computer code had been stolen. A committee is evaluating the paper and an “expression of concern” has been posted. I have the impression that the journal is
just waiting for the problem to go away.
But the first two statements above by Gill contain outright, demonstrable, and provable falsehoods.
To begin with, he never wrote to
RSOS complaining that his "computer code had been stolen", at least not up to the time of publication of his
Entropy paper. The editors of
RSOS have been kind and gentlemanly enough to share with me every complaint they have received regarding my paper. There has been no mention of a stolen computer code in the complaints.
Secondly, the official "expression of concern" published by
RSOS, as well as its follow-up, says absolutely nothing about any stolen computer code. Because there was no such complaint, and, to begin with, I never stole or plagiarized anyone's computer code.
Finally, the only computer simulations that are included or cited in my
RSOS paper are based on
GAViewer. They were first written down by Alber Jan Wonnink and later improved by Fred Diether. As far as I know, Gill has never written a single computer program based on
GAViewer in his life. Therefore, he does not have an iota of more claim on the codes published or cited in my
RSOS paper than I have a claim on Buckingham Palace.
What is astonishing is that Gill knows very well that he has no claim over any
GAViewer code and still publishes an allegation in a journal that I stole his computer code in my
RSOS paper. He engages in such falsehoods about me as a part of his systematic nine-year-long campaign of character assassination.
