Contrary to popular belief, Dawkins has never produced original research. He is a popular science writer, who synthesises recent discoveries in the field of evolutionary biology into an understandable narrative for the layperson (albeit with extensive commentary on the non-existence of God).

I'm not sure why you'd think that, it's clearly false. Dawkins publication record is easily available (it's even on Wikipedia) and he has most definitely published original research.
