Scientific journals have a central place in protecting research integrity because published articles are the most visible documentation of research. We used SWOT analysis to audit (S)trengths and (W)eaknesses as internal and (O)pportunities and (T)hreats as external factors affecting journals' responsibility in addressing research integrity issues. Strengths include editorial independence, auth...

The Croatian Medical Journal (CMJ), as a small journal that is not part of any publishing group faces serious challenges to prosper in a multitude of diverse biomedical journals. In such a complex situation, adaptations are always necessary. They include changing the editorial policy, embracing new ideas, and introducing new members to the Managing Team. Besides selecting the right articles, ex...

Study population The study population comprised the patient populations (n=224) included in a published randomised controlled trial (RCT) (Bais et al. 2000, see 'Other Publications of Related Interest' below for bibliographic details) and a follow-up cohort study (reference not given). Patients in the RCT (n=103) either underwent conventional NF or laparoscopic NF. All patients in the follow-up...

We use deep images taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on board the Hubble Space Telescope of the disk galaxy NGC 891, to search for globular cluster candidates. This galaxy has long been considered to be a close analog in size and structure to the Milky Way and is nearly edge-on, facilitating studies of its halo population. These extraplanar ACS images, originally intended to study the ...

T hree months after the attacks of September 11, 2001, the New York Times asked, “Is the Devil in the Demographics?” (Sciolino, 2001). The article examined the vulnerability of large cohorts of unemployed youth to extremist ideology and political recruitment, and speculated about the hazards created by future youth cohorts in the Middle East. In the post-9/11 era, however, there has been very l...

Using the surface brightness fluctuations in HST WFPC-2 images, we determine that M87, NGC 4486B, and NGC 4478 are all at a distance of ∼ 16 Mpc, while NGC 4476 lies in the background at ∼ 21 Mpc. We also examine the globular clusters of M87 using archived HST fields. We detect the bimodal color distribution, and find that the amplitude of the red peak relative to the blue peak is greatest near...

The infrared spectra of starburst galaxies are dominated by the low-excitation lines of [NeII] and [SIII], and the stellar populations deduced from these spectra appear to lack stars larger than about 35 M⊙. The only exceptions to this result until now were low metallicity dwarf galaxies. We report our analysis of the midinfrared spectra obtained with IRS on Spitzer of the starburst galaxy NGC ...
