What the journal covers
Journal of Otolaryngology Advances (JOA) publishes clinical, surgical, translational and basic-science research in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery. A central, substantive ENT contribution establishes scope eligibility. Methods and evaluation must support the claims and be appropriate to the study type; clinical deployment or demonstrated patient benefit is not required for every laboratory, mechanistic or early-stage device study.
-
Otology, neurotology and audiology
Ear and temporal-bone disease, hearing and vestibular science, hearing rehabilitation and devices, and lateral skull-base surgery.
-
Rhinology and the anterior skull base
Sinonasal inflammation, nasal airway function, olfactory disorders and anterior skull-base disease, diagnosis and surgery.
-
Laryngology, voice and airway
Voice, swallowing and upper-airway disorders, their underlying function, treatment and rehabilitation, including sleep-related upper-airway disease.
