Hi. Have you ever come across a research paper in which the authors went out of their way to claim that they report the first empirical evidence on a specific subject, while there are clearly published papers (by YOU or other researchers) on the same or similar related subject?

Why they do it?

Is this a phenomena?

How spread is this?

Is this considered scientific misconduct?

And what would be the best reaction to this, specially when you have published a similar paper?
