When an emergency occurs, effective decisions should be made in a limited time to reduce the casualties and economic losses as much as possible. In the past decades, emergency decision-making (EDM) has become a research hotspot and a lot of studies have been conducted for better managing emergency events under tight time constraint. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the literature on this topic. The objective of this paper is to provide academic community with a complete bibliometric analysis of the EDM researches to generate a global picture of developments, focus areas, and trends in the field. A total of 303 journal publications published between 2010 and 2020 were identified and analyzed using the VOSviewer in regard to cooperation network, co-citation network, and keyword co-occurrence network. The findings indicate that the annual publications in this research field have increased rapidly since 2014. Based on the cooperation network and co-citation network analyses, the most productive and influential countries, institutions, researchers, and their cooperation networks were identified. Using the co-citation network analysis, the landmark articles and the core journals in the EDM area are found out. With the help of the keyword co-occurrence network analysis, research hotspots and development of the EDM domain are determined. According to current trends and blind spots in the literature, possible directions for further investigation are finally suggested for EDM. The literature review results provide valuable information and new insights for both scholars and practitioners to grasp the current situation, hotspots and future research agenda of the EDM field.

当突发事件发生时，应在有限的时间内做出有效的决策，尽可能减少人员伤亡和经济损失。在过去的几十年里，紧急决策（EDM）已成为研究热点，为了在紧迫的时间限制下更好地管理紧急事件，人们进行了大量的研究。然而，缺乏对这一主题的文献进行全面的文献计量分析。本文的目的是为学术界提供 EDM 研究的完整文献计量分析，以生成该领域的发展、重点领域和趋势的全球概况。使用VOSviewer对2010年至2020年间出版的303种期刊出版物进行了合作网络、同被引网络和关键词共现网络的识别和分析。研究结果表明，自2014年以来，该研究领域的年度出版物增长迅速。基于合作网络和同被引网络分析，确定了最具生产力和影响力的国家、机构、研究人员及其合作网络。利用同被引网络分析找出EDM领域的标志性文章和核心期刊。借助关键词共现网络分析，确定EDM领域的研究热点和发展方向。根据目前的趋势和文献中的盲点，最终为 EDM 提出了进一步研究的可能方向。文献综述结果为学者和实践者把握EDM领域的现状、热点和未来研究议程提供了宝贵的信息和新的见解。
