| Mar 4, 2021 at 12:03 | comment | added | Erwan | I truly sympathize with your situation, but if the paper is worth so much to you then I really think that you need a kind of mediator to help disentangle the conflict. Currently the only two options are pretty bad even for the work: either it's published in a way that you don't want or it's cancelled with little chance to republish it. And it's certainly hard for you to get some perspective in this mess, but it's also important to think about your future. Involving a neutral person would be a step in de-escalating the conflict and try to find a solution, and if it could even help your case ... | |
| Mar 4, 2021 at 11:43 | comment | added | Harry Wang | @Erwan Unfortunately yes. I have spent a tremendous amount of time in data collecting and designing the experiment for this paper, at least more than triple the time of the rest of the authors combined. Because of this, I find retreating civilly, giving my contribution away for free, and allowing myself to be bullied as seriously unacceptable. (I have tried to discuss with them to find a middle ground, but the attempt was ultimately unsuccessful.) | |

| Mar 4, 2021 at 1:50 | comment | added | Erwan | I'm aware that this is not your question, but I think it's crucial for you and your career to urgently seek advice with a neutral third-party person in your institution, for example ombudsman or neutral colleague. The ideal outcome would be to find a way out which satisfies all the co-authors. Currently the way you present it looks more like a worst-case scenario: whatever happens, your relationship with the co-authors would be permanently damage, and if accusations are thrown publicly on either side it could get really ugly. Is this paper really worth the cost? | |
