Dissemination of educational research is critical to improving medical education, promotion of faculty and ultimately patient care. The objective of this study was to identify the top 25 cited education articles in the emergency medicine (EM) literature and the top 25 cited EM education articles in all journals, as well as report on the characteristics of the articles.
Two searches were conducted in the Web of Science in June 2016 using a list of education-related search terms. We searched 19 EM journals for education articles as well as all other literature for EM education-related articles. Articles identified were reviewed for citation count, article type, journal, authors, and publication year.
With regards to EM journals, the greatest number of articles were classified as articles/reviews, followed by research articles on topics such as deliberate practice (cited 266 times) and cognitive errors (cited 201 times). In contrast in the non-EM journals, research articles were predominant. Both searches found several simulation and ultrasound articles to be included. The most common EM journal was (n = 18), and was the most common non-EM journal (n=5). A reasonable number of articles included external funding sources (6 EM articles and 13 non-EM articles.).
This study identified the most frequently cited medical education articles in the field of EM education, published in EM journals as well as all other journals indexed in Web of Science. The results identify impactful articles to medical education, providing a resource to educators while identifying trends that may be used to guide EM educational research and publishing efforts.
传播医学教育研究对于改善医学教育、促进教师发展，最终改善患者护理至关重要。本研究的目的是确定在急诊医学（EM）文献中被引用次数最多的前 25 篇教育文章和在所有期刊中被引用次数最多的前 25 篇 EM 教育文章，并报告这些文章的特征。
2016 年 6 月，我们在 Web of Science 中使用了一组与教育相关的搜索词进行了两次搜索。我们在 19 种 EM 期刊中搜索教育文章，以及所有其他与 EM 教育相关的文献。对确定的文章进行了引文数量、文章类型、期刊、作者和出版年份的回顾。
就 EM 期刊而言，数量最多的文章被归类为文章/综述，其次是关于刻意练习（被引用 266 次）和认知错误（被引用 201 次）等主题的研究文章。相比之下，在非 EM 期刊中，研究文章占主导地位。两次搜索都发现了一些包括模拟和超声的文章。最常见的 EM 期刊是（n = 18），最常见的非 EM 期刊是（n = 5）。相当数量的文章包括外部资金来源（6 篇 EM 文章和 13 篇非 EM 文章）。
本研究确定了在 EM 教育领域中被引用最多的医学教育文章，这些文章发表在 EM 期刊以及 Web of Science 索引的所有其他期刊中。结果确定了对医学教育有影响力的文章，为教育工作者提供了资源，同时也确定了可能用于指导 EM 教育研究和出版工作的趋势。
