littmath: scooping finished-but-unpublished work is where the norm applies
littmath · x · 2026-09-07
More from the thread: @littmath clarifies that the real norm applies to finished-but-unpublished work—that's "totally different" from scooping work still in progress, and he fully agrees there's a norm against the former. @nihilunbounded adds examples beyond young researchers: results announced and talked about for two years without publication, where no one in good conscience would scoop by rushing to write it up once the talks presented all the key ideas.
