Abstract
Relevance. The growing number of manmade and natural emergencies and disasters in the world along with terrorist threats make it necessary to improve and integrate the scientific, educational and clinical aspects of rendering medical care to the victims.
Intention. To analyze the activities of international organizations in the field of disaster medicine.
Methods. Activities of the World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WADEM) and the Association for Disaster Medicine and Public Health (SDMPH) were analyzed. Publication indicators of scientific journals Prehospital and Disaster Medicine (WADEM) and Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness (SDMPH) are presented. The journals are indexed in the Scopus database and the Web of Science Core Collection.
Results and Discussion. The tendency of increasing the publication activity of journals has been revealed. The average annual array in 2012–2016 was (140 ±19) and (122 ±17) articles; respectively. According to the Scimago Journal & Country Rank (http://scimagojr.com), these journals have high scientometric indicators. On average, for Prehospital and Disaster Medicine and Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness, each article was quoted 4.94 and 4.7 times, and at least once 62.4 % and 63.6 % of the array of articles were quoted respectively. Scientometric indicators of the authors who published the largest number of articles on disaster medicine in 2007–2016 were analyzed.
Conclusion. The analyzed articles written by leading authors in the field of disaster medicine open up great information opportunities for scientists and practitioners.
