I have on my desk a 2017 best paper award, for a paper printed in 2016, submitted 2015, being an extended version of a 2013 paper for a problem we solved in 2012. Academic publishing is like that.
- MrEldritch 7y agoThis is a large part of why (at least in the deep learning field, which I'm more familiar with) scientific publishing takes place more or less exclusively through ArXiv, because the field has been moving fast enough that while peer-reviewed papers are also published, by the time they come out they're long obsolete. (Largely forgoing peer review as a scientific field is, however, not without problems. To say the least.)
