Just cite it in the final version with a sentence giving the facts. "While this paper was under review, the author(s) discovered that X, Y, and Z had stated the results of Section 3 in an old version of paper ABC entitled XYZ that remains unpublished." (and give appropriate citations) (You might want to run the exact wording of the sentence by the X, Y, and Z to make sure they agree - assuming they don't have a bad reputation about this sort of thing.) | |

| Apr 30, 2023 at 21:28 | comment | added | user137975 | Is Part 2 still available for the general public to access? When you say they state their newer paper "supersedes" the older paper (preprint?), can you be more precise about what the statement they make is? If you're able to read the content and know that it's highly related to whatever's described in your manuscript, you almost surely have a professional obligation to mention it. | |
