Very good question. I see this in a lot of the papers I review. It seems a relatively & #39;safe& #39; type of hacking in the sense that the hacker can always go "oops, didn& #39;t know that one, thank for the tip!" and then publish anyway (often without citing). https://twitter.com/SchildChristoph/status/1248936852561764352">https://twitter.com/SchildChr...

This isn& #39;t only a problem with individual researchers, but also with research traditions. There are great examples in my field of that. Sub-disciplines suddenly discovering that people gesture, or do turn-taking, conveniently ignoring decades of literature on these topics.
