Our purpose was to identify and examine the characteristics of the most frequently cited articles in the field of emergency medicine (EM).
Top-cited EM articles in 9 EM journals were identified by searching the computerized database of the Science Citation Index Expanded and the Web of Science (1972 to present). Median citation numbers, authors' nationalities, publication year, and fields of study were described and discussed. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare groups.
All top-cited articles were published during 1972 and 2002. We identified 100 top-cited articles published in 6 EM journals, led by Annals of Emergency Medicine (66) and American Journal of Emergency Medicine (22). Toxicology, traumatology, resuscitation medicine, and cardiovascular medicine were the primary focus of study. The median citation number for these top-cited articles was 102 (range, 71-335).
Our analysis gives an encyclopedic review of citation frequency of top-cited articles published in EM journals, which may provide information for those who want to find the history, evolution, and areas of high-impact research activities of EM.
我们的目的是识别并审视急诊医学(EM)领域中被引用次数最多的文章的特征。
通过检索科学引文索引扩展版和科学网的计算机数据库(1972年至今),确定9种急诊医学期刊中被引用次数最多的急诊医学文章。描述并讨论了被引用次数的中位数、作者国籍、发表年份和研究领域。使用曼-惠特尼U检验和克鲁斯卡尔-沃利斯检验对各组进行比较。
所有被引用次数最多的文章均发表于1972年至2002年期间。我们确定了在6种急诊医学期刊上发表的100篇被引用次数最多的文章,其中以《急诊医学年鉴》(66篇)和《美国急诊医学杂志》(22篇)为首。毒理学、创伤学、复苏医学和心血管医学是主要的研究重点。这些被引用次数最多的文章的被引用次数中位数为102次(范围为71 - 335次)。
我们的分析对急诊医学期刊上发表的被引用次数最多的文章的引用频率进行了全面综述,这可能为那些想要了解急诊医学的历史、发展以及高影响力研究活动领域的人提供信息。
