Ten leading otolaryngological journals were reviewed with a view to detecting the UK contribution to the ENT literature from 1985 to 1994. From a total number of 12,293 publications studied 2414 (19.6%) papers were found to originate from British and Northern Irish otolaryngological departments, with the proportion of UK papers remaining at around 20% throughout the whole 10-year period. These papers were fully reviewed and the number of authors, paper type, names of authors and originating department recorded. Eleven departments were responsible for 50.2% of the total number of publications with the most prolific author being responsible for 2.5% (n = 60) of the total number of UK papers. Over the 10-year period, there has been a significant change towards the publication of more clinical research at the expense of pure laboratory research in these 10 journals (chi 2 P < 0.001). There has also been a move towards multiple authorship (three or more co-authors) over the same period with fewer single-author papers (P < 0.001).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
