The reversing result for the Jones polynomial

W. B. Raymond Lickorish and Kenneth Millett

Vol. 124 (1986), No. 1, 173–176
Abstract

A short proof is given, using linear skein theory, of the theorem of V.F.R. Jones that the one variable “Jones” polynomial associated to an oriented link is independent of the choice of strand orientations, up to a multiple of the variable.
