“…We found an incidence of 8.94% for CR/S among articles published in SCI ORL journals in the study period. This ratio corresponds to the recent CR/S publishing tendencies in the field of medicine ( 5 , 6 , 18 , 19 ). However, the frequency of CR/S is 15.1% among ORL articles for the period between 1945-2016 ( 19 ), which supports the decline in our sample ( Figure 1 ).…”

“…Some journals, as a rule, do not intend to accept the submission of CR/S at the initial stage or some recommend early rejection or desk rejection. Considering the fast-growing volume of scientific literature and their concern regarding earning citations, it seems that CR/S have lost their value of evidence and become weaker in recent decades( 3 , 19 ).…”

“…In the report of Fenton et al( 22 ) in 2004, the number of citations to CR/S, published from January to December 2000, ranged from 3 to 28 (mean: 12.4) in Auris Nasus Larynx and 2 to 28 (mean: 10.2) in The Journal of Laryngology and Otology. Edelmeyer et al( 19 ) reported only three CR/S with more than 100 citations and were considered as ‘citation classics’. Whereas, 905 citation classics were found in 2014, compared with 80 in 2001, for original articles( 19 ).…”

Objective: The rate of case report/series (CR/S) acceptance by the high impact journals is steadily declining mainly due to low citations. The aim of this study is primarily to investigate the bibliometric aspects of CR/S in the field of otorhinolaryngology (ORL) and secondarily to guide prospective authors as to which type of CR/S have better chances of acceptance and citation in the current publication climate. Methods: Bibliometric and citation analysis of CR/S published in Science Citation Index (SCI) journals of ORL covering the years of 2012-2016 was conducted. Results: There were 1332 (8.9%) CR/S among 14900 publications in 11 SCI ORL journals published between January 1 st , 2012 and December 31st, 2016. The most common published field and subject were the ‘pediatric ORL’ (33.2%) and ‘rare cases/conditions’ (47.1%) respectively. ‘General ORL’ (5.13) and ‘treatment’ (4.93) categories had the highest citations. Only 10% of CR/S had ≥10 citations. The mean citation counts were positively correlated with impact factors of journals (r=0.131, p<0.001), mean number of authors (r=0.151, p<0.001), mean number of cases (r=0.192, p<0.001), mean number of references (r=0.315, p<0.001) and mean number of Web of Science visits (r=0.291, p<0.001). Conclusion: Although CR/S provides low citation rates in ORL SCI journals, they may serve important topics in terms of diagnosis, treatment, or complications. The findings and the main discussions of this study may direct the rationale for the consistent publication of CR/S in the evidence-based medicine era.

One hundred most‐cited articles in head and neck surgery and analysis of female authorship

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: While female head and neck surgeons have made significant contributions to the field, women's achievements in scientific communication have traditionally been underreported. Methods: A search of high-impact journals in the field of head and neck surgery was performed in the Elsevier's Scopus database to identify the top 100 most-cited articles. Results:The top 100 most-cited articles (during the span of 1953 and 2016) had the highest total number of citations between 2005 and 2009. Women accounted for 36% of first authors and 25% of corresponding authors. Change in the relative number of first female authors in these top 100 articles did not increase significantly between 1950 and 2019. Conclusion:The proportion of female first authors in head and neck surgery has not significantly increased over the past several decades, despite greater numbers of female trainees. Our findings support the need for additional research on female representation in head and neck surgery.
