This is a systematic review of emergency management publications using the bibliometric analysis. The authors addressed the questions of how emergency management research has evolved in connections to previous literature, what are the fundamental elements of effective strategies, and what topics emerged as new trends in adapting to changing environments. Findings reveal that topics of communication, collaboration, citizen participation, risk perception, and vulnerability have been addressed consistently over the last four decades. Findings also show that scholars have responded to emerging challenges by establishing emergency management systems, designing an international framework for climate change, and shifting focus from response to mitigation with special emphasis on community resilience and sustainability. The authors expect that this study lays a foundation for shaping future EM research.

这是利用文献计量分析对应急管理出版物进行的系统综述。作者讨论了以下问题：应急管理研究如何与以前的文献联系起来，有效策略的基本要素是什么，以及哪些主题作为适应变化的环境的新趋势而出现。调查结果表明，在过去的四十年中，沟通，协作，公民参与，风险感知和脆弱性等主题一直得到解决。研究结果还表明，学者们通过建立应急管理系统，设计国际气候变化框架以及将重点从应对转移到缓解上来应对新出现的挑战，特别强调社区的适应力和可持续性。
