Citius, altius, fortius in 2001.

Since the inclusion of the Croatian Medical Journal into MEDLINE (1998) and Current Contents/Clinical Medicine (1999), the number of manuscripts submitted to it for publication has been continually increasing. This fact required many changes in the Journal and its editorial policy. The editorial board has decided to increase the number of issues published per year from four to six. To improve the scientific quality of the journal, the Croatian Medical Journal Committee of Research Integrity has been established. The committee will actively deal with all aspects of research integrity related to submitted manuscripts. More attention will also be paid to statistical review of the manuscripts. Another innovation, which aims at medical student readership, is the launch of the Student CMJ. It will be published once a year as part of the Croatian Medical Journal. Also, a regular new column under the title Health Watch starts with this year. Hopefully, all these changes will contribute to the Journal's quality, increase its visibility, and attract a broader readership.
