Abstract
Background: The field of otolaryngology has achieved remarkable progress over the past decade due to technological advancements and interdisciplinary integration. Understanding research trends and hotspots is essential to drive further innovation and development.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted on Web of Science on November 22, 2024, to identify the top 1,000 most-cited otolaryngology publications from 2014 to 2024. Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism v8.0.2, CiteSpace (6.2.4R), and VOSviewer (1.6.18) to visualize trends and research networks.
Results: The annual publication volume in otolaryngology decreased after 2014, with the United States dominating in both publication count and citation frequency. Influential journals and prominent authors were identified, and research areas expanded beyond traditional clinical management to interdisciplinary fields. Chronic rhinosinusitis, olfactory dysfunction, and machine learning emerged as key research hotspots.
Conclusion: Otolaryngology has made significant progress across multiple domains. Future research should focus on integrating artificial intelligence into clinical practice, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations, and advancing precision medicine and translational research. These efforts will be critical for addressing emerging challenges and capitalizing on new opportunities in the field.
期刊介绍：
Evidence of surgical interventions go back to prehistoric times. Since then, the field of surgery has developed into a complex array of specialties and procedures, particularly with the advent of microsurgery, lasers and minimally invasive techniques. The advanced skills now required from surgeons has led to ever increasing specialization, though these still share important fundamental principles.
Frontiers in Surgery is the umbrella journal representing the publication interests of all surgical specialties. It is divided into several “Specialty Sections” listed below. All these sections have their own Specialty Chief Editor, Editorial Board and homepage, but all articles carry the citation Frontiers in Surgery.
Frontiers in Surgery calls upon medical professionals and scientists from all surgical specialties to publish their experimental and clinical studies in this journal. By assembling all surgical specialties, which nonetheless retain their independence, under the common umbrella of Frontiers in Surgery, a powerful publication venue is created. Since there is often overlap and common ground between the different surgical specialties, assembly of all surgical disciplines into a single journal will foster a collaborative dialogue amongst the surgical community. This means that publications, which are also of interest to other surgical specialties, will reach a wider audience and have greater impact.
The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to create a discussion and knowledge platform of advances and research findings in surgical practice today to continuously improve clinical management of patients and foster innovation in this field.
