Ann Macy Roth's The psh-kf and the Opening of the Mouth Ceremony: A Ritual of Birth and Rebirth, published in the Journal of Egyptian Archaeology, volume 78, by the Egypt Exploration Society in 1992, is a peer reviewed Egyptological study of the ancient Egyptian funerary ritual. Its authority rests on peer review by a leading specialist journal in the field and Roth's direct philological and iconographic analysis of the ritual's textual and pictorial sources. It focuses specifically on the psh-kf implement and its symbolism within the ceremony, so a claim about the Opening of the Mouth ritual more broadly benefits from a source with wider scope as well.
