“…Previous bibliometric studies have focused on specific aspects, such as the sung voice [ 15 ], the analysis of sex bias in research and publications in the area of laryngology [ 16 ], scientific production on physiological vocal rehabilitation [ 18 ], phono-audiological interventions in spasmodic dysphonia [ 17 ], the relationship between vocal production, bilingualism [ 19 ], etc.…”

“…Knowing the most-used keywords can help to guide and refine future searches and systematic reviews of the scientific literature. Co-occurrence analysis is useful in this regard [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. It is evident that authors do not always use standardized terms (such as MESH or EMTREE), mainly due to the limitations of the list and the continuous advance of research in new fields of knowledge.…”

(1) Background: The study of the human euphonic voice is a subject that has been researched in recent years from different perspectives. Therefore, it is pertinent to assess the current state of the science. The aim of analyzing the characteristics of normal voice-related publications over the last 11 years is to identify research trends, the numerical and temporal evolution of the publications, their type, and the most-used descriptors. (2) Methods: Bibliometric data from 2011 to 2021 were obtained through several databases. Subsequently, a science mapping analysis was made via VOSviewer software. (3) Results: A total of 901 publications were obtained. The analysis of the scientific production on the field of study regarding the euphonic voice shows a slight increase over the last 11 years, with an average of 82 publications per year. Co-authorship analysis revealed a 6215 authors contributing to the field with a 901 articles (headed by Jiang, J.J. with 18 articles). Keyword co-occurrence analysis highlighted the lack of temporal advancement and variety in the terminology used in the field of voice research. (4) Conclusions: This scientometric study sheds light to the need to broaden in this field of study and the establishment of solid research groups to contribute to its advancement.

“…Unfortunately, previous reports show that methodological research biases, including biases in conducting randomized trials or gender bias in research and publishing, in the field of otorhinolaryngology (ENT) are still pretty common, and not many improvements have been made in the last few decades despite the significant growth of research methodology awareness in the scientific community [ 13 , 14 ]. In this study, however, we aimed to assess another form of bias in the field, namely, to what extent the recent SRs with MAs in the field of ENT have taken measures to reduce the risk of PB in their results or have evaluated the probability of its presence in their research.…”

Introduction One concern in meta-analyses is the presence of publication bias (PB) which leads to the dissemination of inflated results. In this study, we assessed how much the meta-analyses in the field of otorhinolaryngology in 2021 evaluated the presence of PB. Methods Six of the most influential journals in the field were selected. A search was conducted, and data were extracted from the included studies. In cases where PB was not assessed by the authors, we evaluated the risk of its presence by designing funnel plots and performing statistical tests. Results Seventy-five systematic reviews were included. Fifty-one percent of them used at least one method for assessing the risk of PB, with the visual inspection of a funnel plot being the most frequent method used. Twenty-nine percent of the studies reported a high risk of PB presence. We replicated the results of 11 meta-analyses that did not assess the risk of PB and found that 63.6% were at high risk. We also found that a considerable proportion of the systematic reviews that found a high risk of PB did not take it into consideration when making conclusions and discussing their results. Discussion Our results indicate that systematic reviews published in some of the most influential journals in the field do not implement enough measures in their search strategies to reduce the risk of PB, nor do they assess the risk of its presence or take the risk of its presence into consideration when inferring their results.

BackgroundWhile other otolaryngology subspecialties have established female authorship trends, there is no comprehensive study within head and neck surgery (HNS).MethodsFive researchers recorded the gender identity of first and senior authors from HNS subspecialty papers (head and neck oncology, endocrine surgery, salivary gland pathology, and microsurgery) derived from 10 journals in otolaryngology and oncology in the years 2013, 2016, 2019, and 2022.ResultsFrom 3457 articles, 6901 unique author identities were analyzed. Female authors represented 32% (N = 1103) of first authors and 20% (N = 690) of senior authors. Female authors were less likely to publish in microvascular and reconstructive surgery. Senior female authors were more likely to publish in higher impact journals than male senior authors, and first female authors had an increased likelihood of funding compared to their male counterparts.ConclusionsWhile female authors remain underrepresented in certain literature, we illustrate promising trends in productivity, funding allocation, and impact.
