Should scholars publish in the journal they are working for? In other words, is it legitimate to publish in his own journal, that is to say submit and/or co-sign in a journal of which one is editor-in-chief (except in the format of an editorial or a tribune, and any other non peer-reviewed articles) [1]? Can one ensure full compliance with the ICJME requirements [2], in particular regarding the objectivity of the reviewers (including the sacro-saint double-blind proofreading) and in the final decision-making [3,4]? Similarly, the issue of publishing research articles from members of the rest of the editorial board in their own journal remains problematic.
