The goal of this study was to identify and analyze the 100 most frequently cited journal articles pertaining to the field of pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) and published in emergency medicine (EM) peer-reviewed literature.
The 3 databases, Scopus Library, Google Scholar, and Web of Science, were subjected to a search by topic, keyword, and publication journal to identify the 100 most frequently cited articles addressing PEM issues in the EM literature. Our search included articles published beginning in 1983 and ending in 2016. Median citation frequency, study topics within the specialty of PEM, years of publication, and countries of origin were each compiled and analyzed. Mean citation frequencies were used to rank the articles, which accounted for differences in the results among the 3 databases. Once organized into a list of the 100 most often cited articles in PEM, those with an outcome of the same mean citation frequency were ranked in alphabetical order, according to the initial letter of last name of the first author of the publication.
A ranking was created of the 100 most frequently cited articles in pediatric emergency medicine by the mean number of citations. Citation counts ranged from a high of 249 to a low of 71, with a median frequency of 101. The United States had 92 articles on the list, whereas the remainder was comprised of the following countries: Australia (3), Canada (3), Germany (1), and Spain (1). The most common topic areas (and their numbers) noted were related to resuscitation (23) and anesthesia (22). The most frequently cited 100 articles were all published between the years 1983 and 2010. Top publication years (and number of articles) included 2000 (11), 2002 (8), and 2003 (8). The years ranging from 1993 to 2005 covered 69% of published articles. Journals of publications (and article counts) were Annals of Emergency Medicine (69), Pediatric Emergency Care (15), Academic Emergency Medicine (12), and Resuscitation (4).
This analysis provides a review of citation frequency of top-cited PEM articles published in EM journals. This determines the influence of these PEM publications on the EM specialty. The importance of education on resuscitation and anesthesia topics in PEM was evident. Most of the articles were published more than 10 to 15 years ago, indicating that they could be considered landmarks in the subspecialty of PEM. This signifies their importance to other authors in this field, who chose to cite them as having created a significant impact on their own publications.
本研究旨在确定并分析在急诊医学同行评议文献中发表的 100 篇关于儿科急诊医学（PEM）领域最常被引用的期刊文章，并对其进行分析。
通过主题、关键词和出版期刊对 Scopus 图书馆、Google Scholar 和 Web of Science 这 3 个数据库进行检索，以确定在急诊医学文献中涉及 PEM 问题的 100 篇最常被引用的文章。我们的检索包括自 1983 年开始至 2016 年结束发表的文章。分别对每篇文章的中位引用频率、PEM 专业内的研究主题、出版年份和来源国进行了编制和分析。根据文章在 3 个数据库中的结果差异，使用平均引用频率对文章进行排名。将这些文章按照儿科急诊医学中最常被引用的 100 篇文章的平均引用频率进行排序，对于相同平均引用频率的文章，则按照出版物第一作者姓氏的首字母进行字母顺序排列。
根据平均引用次数创建了儿科急诊医学中最常被引用的 100 篇文章的排名。引用次数从高到低分别为 249 次和 71 次，中位数频率为 101 次。美国有 92 篇文章入选，其余分别来自澳大利亚（3 篇）、加拿大（3 篇）、德国（1 篇）和西班牙（1 篇）。记录的最常见主题领域（及其数量）与复苏（23 篇）和麻醉（22 篇）有关。最常被引用的 100 篇文章均发表于 1983 年至 2010 年之间。排名最高的出版年份（及文章数量）包括 2000 年（11 篇）、2002 年（8 篇）和 2003 年（8 篇）。1993 年至 2005 年期间发表的文章占已发表文章的 69%。出版物的期刊（及文章数量）分别为《急诊医学年鉴》（69 篇）、《儿科急诊护理》（15 篇）、《学术急诊医学》（12 篇）和《复苏》（4 篇）。
本分析提供了对发表在急诊医学期刊上的儿科急诊医学顶级文章引用频率的回顾。这确定了这些 PEM 出版物对急诊医学专业的影响。复苏和麻醉主题在 PEM 中的重要性显而易见。大多数文章发表于 10 至 15 年前，这表明它们可以被视为 PEM 专业的里程碑。这意味着它们对该领域的其他作者很重要，因为他们选择引用这些文章，认为这些文章对他们自己的出版物产生了重大影响。
