To evaluate reviewing and editorial decision for articles submitted to the European Annals of Otorhinolaryngology Head & Neck Diseases.
A retrospective analysis was made of reviewers' comments on 1,133 scientific articles (700 original articles, 96 literature reviews, and 337 case reports), originating from 69 countries, consecutively submitted on-line between January 1st, 2020 and December 31st, 2021. The main objective was to document the acceptance rate and decision time. Accessory objectives were to synthesize the main comments and to screen for correlations between acceptance and the main characteristics of first authors, articles and reviewers' comments.
In total, 4.1% of submitted articles were accepted. Median decision time differed significantly (P<0.0001), at 1 month in case of refusal and 4 months in case of acceptance. Reviewers mentioned failure to adhere to the journal's authors' guide, to use the appropriate EQUATOR guidelines and to adopt the recommended P<0.005 significance threshold in 94.8%, 54.2%, and 39.9% of cases, respectively. On multivariate analysis, 3 variables significantly impacted acceptance, which increased from 1.3% to 44.6% (P<0.0001) when an appropriate EQUATOR guideline was used and from 0.3% to 57.4% (P<0.0001) when the significance threshold was set at P<0.005, and decreased from 10.5% to 1.1% (P=0.0001) when the article did not originate from a French-speaking country (member of the Francophonie organization).
Adhesion to modern scientific medical writing rules increased acceptance rates for articles in the European Annals of Otorhinolaryngology Head & Neck Diseases. Teaching modern scientific medical writing needs to be enhanced in otorhinolaryngology.
评估向《欧洲耳鼻喉头颈疾病杂志》提交的文章的评审和编辑决策。
对 2020 年 1 月 1 日至 2021 年 12 月 31 日连续在线提交的来自 69 个国家的 1133 篇科学文章（700 篇原始文章、96 篇文献综述和 337 篇病例报告）的评审意见进行回顾性分析。主要目的是记录接受率和决策时间。次要目的是综合主要评论，并筛选出接受率与第一作者、文章和评审意见主要特征之间的相关性。
提交的文章中，4.1%被接受。拒绝和接受的中位决策时间差异显著（P<0.0001），分别为 1 个月和 4 个月。94.8%、54.2%和 39.9%的情况下，评审提到未遵守杂志的作者指南、使用适当的 EQUATOR 指南和采用推荐的 P<0.005 显著性阈值。多变量分析显示，3 个变量显著影响接受率，当使用适当的 EQUATOR 指南时，接受率从 1.3%增加到 44.6%（P<0.0001），当显著性阈值设定为 P<0.005 时，接受率从 0.3%增加到 57.4%（P<0.0001），当文章不是来自法语国家（法语国家组织成员国）时，接受率从 10.5%下降到 1.1%（P=0.0001）。
《欧洲耳鼻喉头颈疾病杂志》遵循现代医学科学写作规则可提高文章接受率。耳鼻喉科需要加强现代医学科学写作教学。
