Reply to comment by [deleted] in [D] Found very similar paper to my submitted paper on Arxiv by [deleted]

these are concurrent works, the first to put on arxiv by a few days is not the one that gets bragging rights :) One thing you could do is send them your arxiv link, tell them it's concurrent work, and in the next arxiv iteration or whatever you should each cite eachother as concurrent work.

Will do that!

you might want to mention how excited you are that a fancy lab like theirs is working on similar stuff ... maybe you can give them a talk or something :)

Haha good call. I’ve started a discourse with them now and they said that they’ll decide whether to cite my paper once both have been accepted somewhere and whether they like some of the video results I can show them. Promising stuff at least!

I'm gonna be a little brusque, and say it sounds like they're strong arming you here to take some more credit, if you truly had your work in preprint before theirs it'd stay pretty firm in asking them to cite your work when theirs comes out since yours was in preprint first.

yup! Academia and research is really about the collaborations that get formed rather than one project. This might be more helpful to you than if it had not happened. Good luck!

Indeed! I’ve asked the main author if he’d like to meet up with me and discuss our research so hopefully it goes somewhere :)

I hope he does. If I were the other I would be surprised than we had the same idea. And maybe you could working together on a improvement of it. Good luck!!
