Abstract

In the editorial from the last issue of the Croatian
Medical Journal (CMJ), we described the
challenge to the quality of the Journal and integrity
of its editors, put forward by one of the Journal
owners – Zagreb University School of Medicine,
at its Council meeting in November 2007
(1). We invited our critics – the dean of the Zagreb
University School of Medicine, Prof. Nada Čikeš, and Prof. Slobodan Vukičević, who was invited to speak about the CMJ at the Council meeting, to voice their concerns over the quality of the Journal and the work of its editors-inchief (1). Although we received a number of responses from Journal readers and authors, there was no
reply from the Dean or Prof. Vukičević, not even an acknowledgment of receipt of our formal invitation to submit a critique of our stewardship
of CMJ.
