Croatian Medical Journal

Current Issue

The August issue of the CMJ is a theme issue dedicated to brucellosis as a public health challenge and major economic burden in the South Eastern Europe and Mediterranean region. The articles published in the theme issue are based on reports presented at the conference “Brucellosis in South Eastern Europe and Mediterranean Region”, held in Struga, Republic of Macedonia, 12-14 November 2009. The conference also resulted in the Declaration on intersectoral and regional cooperation on control and eradication of brucellosis in South Eastern Europe, as the first step toward more successful control and eradication of brucellosis at national and international levels.
We also publish the new statement from the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) on the revised uniform form for declaring conflict of interest. As a contribution to practices with declaring conflict of interest in a small journal, we also present our experience with the use of the initial form for conflict of interest, introduced and tested last year by all ICMJE member journals.
We advise our authors that the uniform conflict of interest declaration form is now mandatory for manuscript submission!
