Thats more or less tech-brokering, players have been using it since the game release to help negate the bonuses the AI recieves on the higher end of the difficulty ladder, and to generate quite a bit of cash. Thats pretty impressive if you stumbled on to it by yourself.
You would buy technology from the most advanced civ, and then sell it back to all of the other civs, making up what you initially paid for the tech, and generating quite a profit.
In the 1.17 patch this is far less viable though, since the AI's aggressively trade tech the turn they discover it, charging each other almost nothing, and the human exorbitant prices.
Usually the turn after you research something no one else has, during the AI turn phase, one or more rivals will ask you to trade that tech to him/her. REFUSE AND WAIT TO TRADE IN YOUR TURN PHASE! If you trade it to them during the AI turn phase, they will have already traded it to everyone else that didnt have it and youll be out of luck
i think to take a lead on tech early you should,
1.- built a road on worked tile for your capitol
2..- after building your 2-3 warrior and a settler
3.- built your second city
4.- now you can increase science reaserch up to 80 % and still making 1-2 gold per turn, your second city support 4 unit for free, and the road you made around your capitol give you commerce bonus. rinse and reapeat.

Another thing I found out is to keep an eye out on who has the Great Library Wonder and trade with him first because if you trade with someone else first, then that Civ is likely to get the tech through the Great Library.
That's a nice one too, although I had already figured it out myself, and thought it was too obvious to mention (it isn't). Maybe this IS too obvious, but of course you want your OWN GL. Remember this, don't research 'dead end'-science, or science you don't intend to use (i.e. monarchy when you're republic) because the A.I. researches EVERYTHING (ever built the shakespeare's theatre? what's is 'free artisany' anyway? opposed to 'forced artisany'?). Duh.
Actually, a very important development in culture. Previously, artists were treated as servants and worked for the upper classes or the Church. Later, they worked for the public and became heros.
