Introduction: In the era of „Evidence Based Medicine” knowledge of methodology and scientific trends is an indispensable tool for both practitioner and physician-scientist. The ability to interpret data obtained from the literature allows for better diagnosis, treatment and control of patients. The generally accepted structuring of published data and unification of research tools also allows for conducting original and review papers based on our own results.
The Aim: The purpose of our work was to search for and present scientific tools (questionnaires, scales and checklists) used to collect data in rhinology. The results of these studies were published in reputable magazines in the period 2000–2019 in English.
Material and method: To search for articles, we used MEDLINE, PubMed and Scopus date bases.
Conclusions: The use of generally accepted check-lists and questionnaires in the collection of clinical data and their assessment allows to significantly increase the quality of the collected data and their scientific attractiveness, which in turn is applied to the easier possibility of publishing the obtained results and further citing them in reputable specialist journals.
