Material and Methods: In this study, 2112 articles published in the Web of Science Core Collection database covering the last 30 years (1990-2019) and containing the term "emergency care" in the title tab in the Web of Science Core Collection database, which is the most accepted in the academic world, were examined using bibliometric scientific mapping method. In these analyses conducted with SciMAT software, which is one of modern science mapping techniques, articles were evaluated in the periods of 1990-1999, 2000-2009 and 2010-2019 years. The findings were examined with the number of articles, total citations, strategic diagrams, cluster networks, thematic development maps and comparative analyzes. Results: It was observed that the studies carried out in the field of emergency medicine since 1990 have increased in quantity over time, the thematic change is significant in terms of periods and new themes have been evaluated in studies while some themes have declined over time. In emergency medicine, “medicine”, “departments” and “emergency medicine” in 1990-1999, “management”, “satisfaction” and “diabetic ketoacidosis” in 2000-2009 and “practitioner”, “risk” and “geriatrics” in 2010-2019 were found as motor themes. Conclusion: When the cluster networks and thematic development maps on emergency care are examined, it can be said that the general subject fields and definitions have evolved towards more specific and specific subject fields over the years.}, number={4}, publisher={Türkiye Acil Tıp Derneği}
