Jonathan A. Jones
Jonathan A. Jones (born 1967) is a Professor of atomic and laser physics at the University of Oxford,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Department of Physics: Jonathan Jones )〕 and a fellow and tutor in physics at Brasenose College, Oxford.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Brasenose College: Professor Jonathan Jones )〕 Although trained in chemistry, he is active in physics, especially for his work on NMR quantum computation for which he was awarded the 2000 Marlow Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 RSC Marlow Award: Previous Winners )〕 His main research interest is in quantum computation.〔(Jones personal home page )〕
In 2009, Jones joined in making Freedom of Information requests to the Climatic Research Unit following a complaint by blogger Steve McIntyre that the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia (UEA) had refused to release raw weather station data. Meteorological organisations had allowed the university to use this data on the understanding that it would be kept private, largely due to its commercial value. Jones made a Freedom of Information request for raw data which the university had shared with another researcher, but refused to provide to McIntyre. The university worked with the Met Office to get meteorological organisations to waive confidentiality on raw instrumental data, most failed to respond and two refused. In 2011 the Information Commissioner's Office decided that the university had to make the data public, regardless of the wishes of its owners. Jones said to BBC News that it was a matter of principle, "This dataset wasn't particularly interesting, but we thought the data in general should be available, and we thought people shouldn't have to make FoI requests for it." The decision was described as a "landmark ruling" and a "victory for critics of the UEA" by Fred Pearce of ''The Guardian''. Jones said "My sole aim (pursuing the case ) is to help restore climate science to something more closely resembling scientific norms".〔(Oxford academic wins right to read UEA climate data ) by Fred Pearce, ''The Guardian,'' 1 July 2011〕
