The aim of this research was to review the articles published by the Otolaryngology (ORL) departments of the Italian University Hospitals in 2019 and in 2020 in order to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the academic production.
PubMed and Scopus were searched for the articles published by the ORL departments of the Italian Universities in 2019 and in 2020. The main eligibility criteria were English-language articles, while there were no exclusion criteria related to topic. The articles were classified into seven domains corresponding to the main ORL subspecialties.
There was an overall increase in the number of articles by the 42.2% in 2020. Publications pertaining Rhinology and Laryngology increased more significantly in 2020, respectively by the 50.5% and 72.2%. Additionally, there was an increase in the number of articles concerning topics of general interest, by the 95.2% in 2020. Also, the citation trends of the articles published by the Italian University Hospitals increased remarkably in 2020.
These results evidenced an overall increase in the number of ORL articles. Although 2020 is going to be remembered as a year to forget, it should be acknowledged for being the "golden year of research".
本研究旨在回顾 2019 年和 2020 年意大利大学附属医院耳鼻喉科（ORL）部门发表的文章，以分析 COVID-19 大流行对学术成果的影响。
在 PubMed 和 Scopus 上搜索 2019 年和 2020 年意大利大学耳鼻喉科部门发表的文章。主要纳入标准为英语文章，无与主题相关的排除标准。文章分为七个领域，对应耳鼻喉科的主要亚专科。
2020 年文章总数增长了 42.2%。鼻科学和喉科学的出版物在 2020 年增加得更为显著，分别增长了 50.5%和 72.2%。此外，涉及一般兴趣主题的文章数量也有所增加，2020 年增加了 95.2%。同样，意大利大学附属医院发表的文章的引文趋势在 2020 年显著增加。
这些结果表明耳鼻喉科文章的总数总体上有所增加。尽管 2020 年将被铭记为一个值得遗忘的年份，但它也应该被认为是“研究的黄金年”。
