What to do when there's contemporaneous work?
tl;dr - you're screwed either way...
Reference them:
- get criticized for not being novel
- get criticized if your results are weaker (even if you're earlier)
Ignore them:
- get criticized if reviewers find their work
What to do when you have an earlier arXiv preprint?
tl;dr - you're screwed either way...
Reference your own arXiv preprint:
- get criticized because it's already "published" (even though arXiv is non-archival)
Ignore your own arXiv preprint:
- get criticized if reviewers find your work (yup, they cite your own work as evidence that your work isn't novel)
