Investigating the developments in the ever-growing field of disaster medicine and revealing the scientific trends will make an important contribution to researchers in related fields. This study aims to identify the contributions of emergency medicine physicians (EMPs) and trends in disaster medicine publications.

The expressions “disaster medicine” or “disaster*” and “medicine*” were searched in the Web of Science (WoS) database. Research and review papers produced by EMPs from 2001 through 2021 were included in the study. Basic descriptive information was assessed such as the number of publications, authors, citations, most active authors, institutions, countries, and journals. In addition, conceptual, intellectual, and social structures were analyzed.

The study included a total of 346 papers written by 1,500 authors. The mean citation rate per publication was 13.2. Prehospital and Disaster Medicine, Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness, and Academic Emergency Medicine were the journals with the highest number of publications and the highest number of citations. The most common keywords used by the authors were “disaster medicine,” “emergency medicine,” and “disaster/disasters.” According to the distribution of the corresponding authors by country, the United States (n = 175), Japan (n = 23), Italy (n = 20), Australia (n = 17), and Canada (n = 17) had the highest number of publications. The institutions that produced the most publications were John Hopkins University (n = 37), Brigham and Women’s Hospital (n = 27), George Washington University (n = 25), University Piemonte Orientale (n = 24), and Brown University (n = 22).

Increasingly, EMPs have contributed to disaster medicine publications over the years. This study can be used as a guide for EMPs and other researchers who want to contribute to the disaster medicine literature.

调查不断发展的灾害医学领域的发展并揭示科学趋势将为相关领域的研究人员做出重要贡献。本研究旨在确定急诊医学医师 (EMP) 的贡献以及灾难医学出版物的趋势。

在 Web of Science (WoS) 数据库中检索了“灾难医学”或“灾难*”和“医学*”等表述。该研究纳入了 EMP 2001 年至 2021 年期间发表的研究和评论论文。评估了基本描述性信息，例如出版物、作者、引用、最活跃作者、机构、国家和期刊的数量。此外，还分析了概念、智力和社会结构。

该研究共收录了 1,500 名作者撰写的 346 篇论文。每篇出版物的平均引用率为 13.2。院前和灾难医学、灾难医学和公共卫生准备和学术急诊医学是发表数量和引用次数最多的期刊。作者最常用的关键词是“灾难医学”、“急诊医学”和“灾难/灾难”。根据通讯作者国别分布，美国（n = 175）、日本（n = 23）、意大利（n = 20）、澳大利亚（n = 17）和加拿大（n = 17）出版物数量最多。发表出版物最多的机构是约翰霍普金斯大学 (n = 37)、布莱根妇女医院 (n = 27)、乔治华盛顿大学 (n = 25)、东方皮埃蒙特大学 (n = 24) 和布朗大学 (n = 24) = 22）。

多年来，EMP 为灾难医学出版物做出了越来越多的贡献。这项研究可以作为 EMP 和其他想要为灾难医学文献做出贡献的研究人员的指南。
