The International Scientific Indexing Web of Knowledge was searched for all articles. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:3pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"> <b> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">Results: </span> </b> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"> A total of 1812 articles were included. Of all articles, 64,3% (n=1165) were published in the last five years. Publications in the last five years were detected to increase at a rate of 4,6% per year. 78,1% (n=1416) of the articles were published in non-Emergency Medicine journals. “Turkish Clinics” journal in the non-Emergency Medicine journals group, with 46 articles, and the "Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery" in the Emergency Medicine group, with 134 articles, were the preferred journals. The most popular subjects were trauma, at 14,7% (n=266), followed by emergency medicine and management, at 14% (n=253). </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:3pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:3pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"> <b> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">Conclusion: </span> </b> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">Significant publication growth was detected related to the development of </span> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">Emergency Medicine </span> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"> in Turkey.

The low number of multicenter trials and published articles in high impact factor journals have led us to consider the importance of publication quality, which requires additional effort. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={İbrahim İKİZCELİ}
