Professor Marušić Placed His Editorial Board at Disposal of Postgraduate Students of Tuzla University School of Medicine

To the Editor: We read the editorial of Professors Matko and Ana Marušić in the December issue of the Croatian Medical Journal (CMJ) (1). With regret we learned that the policy of the editorial board of CMJ, which created one outstanding, general medical journal, is questioned.

We have been reading the CMJ for many years, and published several articles in it. We consider Prof. Marušić not only the editor of an excellent journal, but the teacher of medical writing as well. We were aware that, because of the lack of experience, the article we were sending was incomplete, but we were also aware that it will not have the destiny like in other journals, as Prof. Marušić will correct the article with us.

The comments in his characteristic, amusing way what to correct, omit, or add, were making the article better and better… After attending Prof. Marušić's workshop of medical writing, some of us published the articles in very prestigious journals. We are very grateful to him for his help.

Prof. Marušić placed his editorial board at the disposal of the postgraduate students of Tuzla Medical University School of Medicine, as the assistance during the writing of articles which even do not have to be sent to the CMJ – with the wish to expand the awareness of necessity of publishing their articles.

As honest friends of this journal, we feel sorry that the policy of the journal, which made the most cognizable journal in the region, is questioned.
