Description
Summary:Both studies sought to explore the evolution of academic performance in emergency medicine (EM, from now) journals over the course of two decades, from 2000 to 2009 [2] and from 2010 to 2019 [1)]. 32 journals are in the EM category with citation data in the 2020 Journal Citation Reports (JCR), but only five journals accept manuscripts not written in English; specifically, in German (Notarzt/Emergency Physician, Notfall & Rettungsmedizin/Emergency & Rescue Medicine, and Unfallchirurg/Trauma Surgeon), Turkish (Ulusal Travma ve Acil Cerrahi Dergisi/Turkish Journal of Trauma & Emergency Surgery) and Spanish (Emergencias/Emergencies). Limiting the use of a language is always impoverishing and constitutes a significant loss.Credit authorship contribution statement Inés M.
