Is this a conflict of interest? (reviewing an article)

[QUOTE="Haborix, post: 6646559, member: 356889"] While Vanadium's response is a good heuristic, I'm not sure it should apply to this situation. First, see if the journal has any stated policies and follow those. Aside from that, it seems like the two facts given would correlate with the criteria editors are following when they are looking for reviewers---someone in the field (citing the prospective reviewer) who will know if the work is impactful (being cited by the prospective reviewer). I have to say that the incentives here don't seem malignant. It is in your interest that the work was done correctly since you want to use it in support of your own. In the end, follow the journal's policies, and if they have none, then your own conscience. You could always note to the editor your concerns before/when you submit your review and vote for/against publication. [/QUOTE]
