- The initial analysis of Proxima Centauri by data combination was made in Tuomi, Jones et al. 2014, MNRAS, 441, 1545. The discovery of signals in Proxima Centauri by the same authors was rejected from MNRAS as a separate paper, the review cited 'extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence'. In January 2014, Jones got a Leverhulme Trust grant to support Tuomi and Anglada-Escude. This led to the formation of the RedDots consortium to obtain additional data and to improve the robustness of the result accepted by Nature. Jones's contribution to this paper runs through many versions of proposals, analysis and papers.
