“…In the 101 most cited articles, all, except three, were research papers, which is not a coincidence and similar to studies of other branches (1,4,109). In the evaluation of these articles considering the sub-branches, while otology was found to be in the first place, it was followed by pediatric ORL, rhinology and head and neck surgery, and facial plastic surgery.…”

“…Citations are the demonstration of the knowledge of a published scientific study included as a reference in another scientific study such as an article, book, or chapter of a book (1,2). While the number of citations that a scientific paper receives is one of the most important factors for showing the value and quality of that study, it also plays an important role in the reputation and promotion of the researchers who conducted the study, as well as their respective institutions.…”

Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze the 100 most cited publications with Turkish origin in the Web of Science Otorhinolaryngology (ORL) journals. Methods:The Web of Science database was searched in terms of citations for publications originating from Turkey in ORL journals since 1983. After the identification of the 100 most cited articles, analysis was performed for the first author, institution, city, publication type, subject related to subspecialty, and journals having the most cited articles. Moreover, the number of ORL publications and citations of countries was determined in descending order using the same database.Results: A total of 3948 ORL articles with Turkish origin was identified. The number of citations was 181 for the first and 28 for the last in the 100 most cited articles. As there was more than one article with 28 citations, 101 articles were analyzed. The number of the articles was 76, 22, and 3 for the university, education/research, and state hospitals, respectively. Hacettepe University, Ankara Numune Hospital, and Gazi University were the three leading institutions having the most cited articles, and Ankara was the first city. While 98 of 101 articles were original research, the number of case reports and review articles were 2 and 1, respectively. Thirty-five articles were related to otology, 23 to pediatric ORL, 20 to rhinology and head and neck surgery, and 3 to facial plastic surgery. Laryngoscope, Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, and International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology were the leading 3 journals with the most cited articles coming from Turkey. The evaluation of countries revealed that Turkey was among the first 10 countries in terms of number of ORL articles but fell behind for the number of citations. Conclusion:This bibliometric study is the first one regarding the contribution of Turkish authors and institutions to ORL literature. Similar studies might be periodically repeated to determine national development in the field of ORL and place of Turkey in the world. Turk Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2015; 53: 112-9 Keywords
