Feel like you should have been cited...
I just saw an article that was just published. It was very close to an article we published over 10 years ago, in my opinion, yet we were not cited. There are so many papers out there, some can be missed. I can understand that. What would you do? For the science of it all, I feel like I should at least reach out to the authors and let them know so that any future research they do in that area can be thought of in full context of our findings too. Or maybe a LinkedIn post, gives more visibility to our prior work in the context of theirs. A letter to the editor is probably not right, since the study itself/methods, etc. was solid. As an academic, seeing a study missed that was so close/related just feels like the reader of the newer paper is missing out too. And for science to progress quicker, it would be better to know what had been done before. Or do nothing at all. So many other things to do anyway. Just curious to know the community thoughts. Thank you.
