You are asked to review a paper for a conference (
not a journal). You find that the paper is on a problem that you have been working on for some time. This makes you
- An expert reviewer eminently qualified to review the paper ?
- A conflicted reviewer who should recuse themself ?
- Insert your choice here.
Parameters to consider:
- You either do or do not have prior published work on this topic
- The problem is exactly what you were working on, or closely related
- You have submitted something similar to the conference (I think this makes (2) the more likely choice) or not.
