The editor-in-chief of Nature (the gold-standard in scientific research journals) is on the record as saying that he believes that while Jones has not been open and transparent, and has hidden behind jargon at times, he has not engaged scientific fraud.
I stated it was my opinion, not unlike the editor-in-chief (albeit with a lot more credentials behind his opinion than mine!)

However, it is getting a little hot in Jones's kitchen.
