What is To Get Scooped?


1.

A term used in the scientific community. When another group is using a scientists results or ideas without his knowledge to publish something before him, this scientists is getting scopped. Scooping is considered a bad behaviour among scientists, close to cheating and admitting that you don't have your own ideas. However it happens on regular basis leading to a high level of paranoia (especially among grad students, where the carreer prospects depend on the number and quality of publications).
