[Publishing in the native tongue?].
This study investigates the motives of Dutch dental researchers to publish their scientific data either in international journals, written in English, or in Dutch dental journals. Questionnaires were sent and 115 of them were completed and returned (response 57.5%). 108 of the respondents strongly preferred publishing in international dental journals. This option is connected with the researchers' own interests and the perceived importance for their field of study. 42% of the respondents consider publishing in Dutch newspapers more profitable than writing articles for Dutch dental journals. The Journal of Dental Research is considered the journal with the highest recognition.
