Abstract
Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the bibliometric contributions made from Turkey to the international scientific literature in the field of Emergency Medicine during the 2020-2021 period, which covered the COVID-19 pandemic period.
Materials and Methods: The study data were retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database of Thomson Reuters – Clarivate Analytics, and the review included publications in the "Emergency Medicine" category from Turkey that spanned the pandemic period between the years 2019-2020.
Results: The present study included a total of 872 studies in Emergency Medicine WoS Indexes between 2020-2021. 78.1% of the aforementioned studies were included in the Science Citation Index Expanded and 88.2% were original research papers. A total of 2930 researchers were involved in the 872 publications in the scope of the study. The average number of co-authors per publication was 5.2, where the average number of publications per author was 0.3. As regards the scope of the publications, the main topic was "SARS-Cov-2 and pandemic". The aforementioned main theme was associated with general emergency medicine practices, COVID-19 pneumonia, and high-mortality emergency cases.
Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first that investigated the studies from Turkey that contributed to the international literature in the field of emergency medicine during the pandemic period and provided valuable data reflecting the scientific productivity of the researchers, who continued their research in the field of emergency medicine, during the pandemic period.

COVID-19 pandemisi sırasında Türkiye'den Uluslararası acil tıp literatürüne katkılar: Bibliyometrik bir analiz
Abstract
Amaç: Bu çalışma, COVID-19 pandemi dönemini kapsayan 2020-2021 döneminde Acil Tıp alanında uluslararası bilimsel literatüre Türkiye'den yapılan bibliyometrik katkıların değerlendirilmesini amaçlamıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma verileri Thomson Reuters – Clarivate Analytics'in Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanından elde edildi ve 2019-2020 yılları arasında pandemi dönemini kapsayan Türkiye'den "Acil Tıp" kategorisindeki yayınları içeriyordu.
Bulgular: Bu çalışmaya 2020-2021 yılları arasında Acil Tıp WoS İndekslerinde toplam 872 çalışma dahil edildi. Yukarıda bahsedilen çalışmaların %78,1'i Science Citation Index Expanded'a dahil edilmiş ve %88,2'si orijinal araştırma makaleleridir. Çalışma kapsamında 872 yayına toplam 2930 araştırmacı katılmıştır. Yayın başına ortalama ortak yazar sayısı 5,2, yazar başına ortalama yayın sayısı ise 0,3 idi. Yayınların kapsamına bakıldığında ise ana konu "SARS-Cov-2 ve pandemi" idi. Yukarıda bahsedilen ana tema, genel acil tıp uygulamaları, COVID-19 zatürreesi ve yüksek ölümlü acil vakalar ile ilişkilendirilmiştir.
Sonuç: Bildiğimiz kadarıyla bu çalışma, pandemi döneminde acil tıp alanında uluslararası literatüre katkı sağlayan ve Türkiye'den yapılan çalışmaların araştırıldığı ilk çalışmadır ve bu araştırmayı yürüten araştırmacıların bilimsel üretkenliğini yansıtan değerli veriler sunmaktadır. Pandemi döneminde acil tıp alanında araştırmalarına devam etti.
