About this journal
Aims and scope
Acta Oto-Laryngologica Case Reports is a peer-reviewed open access journal publishing case reports from all fields of oto-rhino-laryngology and head and neck surgery.
Acta Oto-Laryngologica Case Reports is an international and independent journal derived from Acta Oto-Laryngologica.
The journal publishes case reports reflecting remarkable experiences with one or more patients with unexpected symptoms or clinical course as well as rare complications and their management. The objective of presenting these case reports is to shed light on unconventional clinical situations that could benefit future patients. This journal has short publication times in order to bring these case reports to the scientific community in a timely manner and without delay to maximize clinical benefit.
The journal operates a double-anonymized peer review policy.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
