Frontiers in Emergency Medicine: A work overview for 2021
Abstract
In 2021, Frontiers in Emergency Medicine published 47 papers on four distinct issues which all are indexed by SCOPUS, Web of Sciences, and some other databases. More than one hundred authors from various nationalities, including the UAE, Egypt, India, Turkey, Yemen, the USA, Palestine, Belgium, and Iran were involved. As is customary, we decided to review our work for the last year and evaluate our strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, we performed a brief appraisal of our published papers. This review may help the authors who are interested in publishing with us to become more familiar with the journal’s aims and scopes, and also the editorial’s priorities and preferences. The year 2021 came to an end with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as the hottest topic of research worldwide. We also tried to play our part to overcome the pandemic by publishing relevant and useful papers that we believed could help health systems and bring valuable findings from Iran as one of the most affected countries in the world, followed by neighboring countries and the Middle East region.
