Recent measurements of the gravitational constant as a function of time

A recent publication [J. D. Anderson et. al., Europhys. Lett. 110, 10002 (2015)] presented a strong correlation between the measured values of the gravitational constant G and the 5.9 year oscillation of the length of day. Here, we compile published measurements of G from the last 35 years. A least-squares regression to a sinusoid with period 5.9 years still yields a better fit than a straight line. However, our additions and corrections to the G data reported by Anderson et al. significantly weaken the correlation.
