This study aims to analyze the references that the authors and editors used during the writing of Rosen's Emergency Medicine, 8th edition.
15,209 references, which were used in 197 chapters of Rosen's Emergency Medicine, 8 edition, were examined regarding the distribution of countries, journals, publication year, and the department of the affiliation of the first author.
A total of 63.1% (n = 9591) of the references were led by authors from the United States (US). US-based journals were mostly used, and Annals of Emergency Medicine was the journal from which the references were most frequently extracted, with a percentage of 5.2% (n = 756). The studies conducted by emergency physicians have increased in recent years, and emergency physicians, with a percentage of 17.8% (n = 351), were the leading authors of studies conducted between 2010 and 2013, which were cited in the references of Rosen's Emergency Medicine, 8th edition.
US-based studies make up a significantly bigger portion of the references used in Rosen's Emergency Medicine, 8 edition. If Europe and other countries give due importance to emergency medicine, they will have the capability to produce studies that can be used as references in textbooks as much as the US.
本研究旨在分析《罗森急诊医学》第8版的作者和编辑在撰写过程中所使用的参考文献。
对《罗森急诊医学》第8版197个章节中使用的15209条参考文献，就其来源国、期刊、出版年份以及第一作者所属部门的分布情况进行了考察。
共有63.1%（n = 9591）的参考文献由美国作者主导。使用最多的是美国本土期刊，其中，《急诊医学年鉴》是被引用最多的期刊，占比5.2%（n = 756）。近年来，急诊医生开展的研究有所增加，在2010年至2013年间开展的、被《罗森急诊医学》第8版参考文献引用的研究中，急诊医生作为第一作者的占比17.8%（n = 351），位居首位。
美国的研究在《罗森急诊医学》第8版所使用的参考文献中占比显著更大。如果欧洲和其他国家给予急诊医学应有的重视，它们将有能力产出与美国一样多的、可作为教科书参考文献的研究成果。
