If it's possible to do it this way, it's definitely the most practical solution. | |
| Oct 27, 2015 at 23:10 | comment | added | Anonymous Mathematician | I was interpreting this as splitting the results along some natural fault line. E.g., if one coauthor did X and the other did Y, then instead of publishing X+Y together they could publish them separately with cross references. Sometimes the work might split up this way (e.g., theory and experiments, or something combinatorial followed by some asymptotic analysis), and even if it would be more natural to publish in a single paper splitting it might help here. But I agree that if it's inseparably joint work, then publishing it in papers with disjoint authorship is not an option. | |
| Oct 27, 2015 at 19:20 | comment | added | Dan Romik | Sorry, but this solution makes no sense. Either the two papers contain substantially different material, or they don't. If they do, then both collaborators must sign them as coauthors, otherwise they are both foolishly giving up credit for work they have done, and unethically and misleadingly pretending that they did not contribute to a paper to which they did contribute. And if the papers are really so similar that the previous clause doesn't apply, then publishing them as two separate papers is a form of (group) self-plagiarism. | |
