Making as many of the research papers by Gerald Peiris would be a great service to scholarship. Here we have a list of 24 such papers now available on line. Only five of his papers are available on researchgate.
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Gerald-Peiris
Fifteen are listed in Academic.Edu. If Gerald were to create a Google Scholar page, Google would automatically create a page for him and dig out by itself most of his papers though its very efficient search engine. I could not find a Google Scholar page for him.
Very useful references, Chandre. GERRY is still with us; but maybe without eyesight. I am trying to reach him …. We need to support him and also to keep picking his store of knowledge …SOMEHOW.
