The references from all articles published in these journals in one randomized quarter were compiled into a citation rank list, with the most cited journal ranked the highest. Citation zonal distribution analysis was conducted to identify the zonal distribution of otolaryngology journals.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 3150 journals containing 26876 articles were cited in otolaryngology literature in April\u2013June 2019. <jats:italic>Laryngoscope<\/jats:italic> was the most cited journal containing 1762 citations. IF is significantly associated with the h\u2010index for the top 10 otolaryngology journals (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.032). Three core journal zones were identified, with Zone 1 containing 8 journals, Zone 2 containing 36 journals, and Zone 3 containing 189 journals.
