After all, she put work into supervising you and provided funding. So if she's also active at the journal and were involved in the decision of whether to publish your paper, that would indeed be a conflict of interest. | |

I just talked with my advisor about (1) the possibility of asking the editor about submitting our paper this journal X and (2) the possibility of me as the sole author to submit this paper. She said no and no :( | |

| Jan 6, 2020 at 21:57 | comment | added | Susan | This journal has about 30 associated editors...I emailed the editor in chief and he said: "We had set up this rule at the start of my editorship and I feel it is best to maintain it given potential conflicts of interest." I believe this is a new rule and I don't believe the editor and my advisor would change the rule for me :( | |
