Rhinology is a progressive subspecialty within otolaryngology. Bibliometric analysis is a powerful method to survey the landscape of literature on a specific topic and identify publication trends. We aimed to analyze the 50 most impactful English-language rhinology manuscripts of all time to create a targeted reading list for otolaryngologists.
The Journal Citation Report within the Web of Science database was utilized to identify articles relating to rhinology. Web of Science Research categories were restricted to otolaryngology. The articles were then ranked by number of citations. The top 50 articles of all time ranked by number of citations were analyzed. The articles were analyzed for publication year, journal impact factor, citation density, first author (FA), and senior author (SA) name, country, and institution. Statistical analyses were performed.
Most articles were published in the 2000s (N = 22, 44%) and 1990s (N = 11, 22%). Male FA (N = 37, 74%) and SA (N = 43, 86%) published most articles. Most articles were clinical studies (N = 36, 72%) followed by clinical guidelines/expert opinions. Most articles were published in the United States (N = 28, 56%) and England (N = 9, 18%). There were more female FAs of guidelines/position papers than basic lab, reviews, and clinical studies. England had more female FAs than other countries, and the United States had more female SA. There was an average of 585.2 citations per study.
This investigation highlights the most influential literature within rhinology. The most impactful studies are consensus statements, large multicenter studies, and technique studies. Significant gender disparities in authorship exist.
鼻科学是耳鼻咽喉科中一个不断发展的亚专业。文献计量分析是一种强大的方法，可用于审视特定主题的文献格局并识别出版趋势。我们旨在分析有史以来最具影响力的50篇英文鼻科学手稿，为耳鼻咽喉科医生创建一份有针对性的阅读清单。
利用科学网数据库中的期刊引证报告来识别与鼻科学相关的文章。科学网的研究类别限于耳鼻咽喉科。然后根据被引次数对文章进行排名。对按被引次数排名的有史以来前50篇文章进行分析。分析文章的出版年份、期刊影响因子、被引密度、第一作者（FA）和资深作者（SA）的姓名、国家和机构。进行了统计分析。
大多数文章发表于21世纪（N = 22，44%）和20世纪90年代（N = 11，22%）。男性第一作者（N = 37，74%）和资深作者（N = 43，86%）发表的文章最多。大多数文章为临床研究（N = 36，72%），其次是临床指南/专家意见。大多数文章发表在美国（N = 28，56%）和英国（N = 9，18%）。指南/立场文件的女性第一作者多于基础实验室研究、综述和临床研究。英国的女性第一作者比其他国家多，美国的女性资深作者更多。每项研究平均被引585.2次。
本研究突出了鼻科学领域最具影响力的文献。最具影响力的研究是共识声明、大型多中心研究和技术研究。在作者署名方面存在显著的性别差异。
