The article entitled, “What makes a Journal Great”, published in pages 1-2, issue 1, vol. 52 of Nigerian Medical Journal1 is being retracted. It has been found that the text used in the article bears close resemblance with a previously published article entitled, “What Makes a Good Journal Great?”2 by Nancy Girard in AORN Journal (Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses). The Editor-in-Chief of Nigerian Medical Journal has taken full responsibility for the mistake and conveys his sincere apologies to the readership.Professor Francis A.
