ICLR novelty clash with collaborator's arXiv paper: authors weigh disclosure options

BlancheMinerva · x · 2026-11-07

BlancheMinerva describes a publication ethics bind: their workshop paper A was extended into collaborator paper B on arXiv, and an ICLR reviewer flagged A for claiming novelty on ideas in B — ideas that originated from A's team. Plan: ask B's authors to footnote the prior in-review project, disclose the idea's origin to the reviewer without revealing coauthorship of B, and provide more evidence to the AC.
