Frontiers in Emergency Medicine in 2025, a quick look
Abstract
In this editorial, we provide an overview of the performance of Frontiers in Emergency Medicine (FEM) in 2025 compared with the preceding year and summarize the 37 articles published during this period. The included manuscripts are described with respect to the authors’ countries of origin, article type, and major domains of emergency medicine (EM). FEM appears to have successfully fostered international collaboration among EM specialists. In addition, through strengthened oversight of the submission‑to‑publication process, the journal has sought to publish high‑quality, clinically relevant research while maintaining a high level of author satisfaction.
