63"the reviewer is not technically plagiarising anything. Firstly because there is no published work to plagiarise (because the original paper was rejected)" There is no requirement that plagiarism only counts as plagiarism if the original work is published. You can plagiarize from preprints, research notes, talks, conversations, etc. Plagiarism (excluding self-plagiarism for simplicity) just means you are taking someone else's work (note that "work" does not mean "published paper") and presenting it as yours.– Adam PřenosilCommented Apr 18 at 10:41

1Question. In paper 3, does the reviewer refer to 1 ?– GEdgarCommented Apr 18 at 16:36

1I believe this happened once. There was a trail of emails and documents proving that the reviewer has pillaged the work from someone else and the paper was withdrawn.– TomCommented Apr 19 at 13:04

2@AgnishomChattopadhyay I disagree in the following way: "double-blind" means "identities are not disclosed as part of the reviewing process", but it never means "it's impossible to determine the author's identity if we try to". A referee who wants to find out who the author is will almost surely be able to even without an arXiv preprint. (They shouldn't try to either way, of course.)– Greg MartinCommented Apr 19 at 18:02

1@AgnishomChattopadhyay That is a problem with the concept of double blind reviews, not with pre-publishing on arXiv.– TimRiasCommented Apr 20 at 17:52
- Correct minor typos or mistakes
- Clarify meaning without changing it
- Add related resources or links
- Always respect the author’s intent
- Don’t use edits to reply to the author
-
create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~
```
like so
``` -
add language identifier to highlight code
```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible)
<https://example.com>
[example](https://example.com)
<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
