Global Total Number of 10% Top-Cited Scientific Publications in Emergency Medical Services by Country

In 2023, Australia led in the global total of top-cited scientific publications in emergency medical services, with a significant efficiency score. The United States and Canada followed suit with moderate contributions, while China maintained steady output with no variation. Conversely, European countries like Greece and the United Kingdom showed declines, with Greece facing a substantial drop. The emerging markets, including India and Brazil, also registered stagnation or decreases in publications, revealing limited advancements in research impact in these regions.

Future trends to watch include:

• A potential increase in Australia’s leadership, driven by continuous advancements and investments in research.
• The United States and Canada might enhance their positions through stronger research collaborations and funding.
• Emerging markets such as China may focus on growth strategies aimed to improve their impact, potentially increasing their contributions.
• European efforts may press towards stabilization, aiming to halt declines in top-cited publications.
