- Submit a paper to a conference that expects blind submissions
- Resist the urge to place the paper on the arxiv, because of said blind submission policy, and the misguided belief that placing the paper online will violate the spirit of said policy
- Watch as a stream of papers on conference topic magically appear on the arxiv.

Why double blind review occasionally annoys me.

Whoa... did this actually happen to you? Do you suspect foul play?
ReplyDeletewell I'd hardly call it foul play :). more like not everyone playing by the rules of the game.
ReplyDeletemaybe there's some confusion here. the papers appearing on the arxiv are on the topic of the conference, not the topic of my paper.
ReplyDeleteSo, not someone plagiarizing your work, but others not following the same logic?
ReplyDeleteI'd say, "this is why I like it when rules are clear, followed, and enforced." I know many were annoyed and surprised by the ESA rule-based rejections, but it's one way to avoid problems like this...
ReplyDeleteThe arXiv should allow submissions that are anonymous for a given period of time. But yeah, that will never happen.
ReplyDeleteSo, if you upload a paper to arXiv at the time of submission to a conference, and it gets rejected, you can't resubmit to a double-blind refereed conference because it's already there?
