About EMresearch.ch
EMresearch.ch (notfallforschung.ch) is a collection of Swiss Emergency Medicine research literature. The aim is to create a comprehensive database of scientific articles authored by academic emergency physicians from Switzerland.
EMresearch.ch makes the scientific work of emergency physicians in Switzerland visible. It collects the publications of emergency physicians working in Swiss hospital emergency departments (adult and paediatric) and in pre-hospital emergency medicine, such as air rescue and ambulance services. What counts is who the authors are, not the topic of the paper.
How the collection is built
- Search. Scopus and PubMed are searched for publications in which an author's affiliation names an emergency unit (emergency, urgences, Notfall, pronto soccorso…) together with Switzerland or a Swiss city or hospital.
- Screening by author. A publication is included only if one individual author has a Swiss emergency affiliation. Words spread across the affiliations of different co-authors do not count.
- Emergency physicians. Affiliations from intensive care, anaesthesiology, radiology, psychiatry, veterinary medicine, international organisations, NGOs and mixed departments (for example internal and emergency medicine) do not count, unless the person has been individually confirmed as an emergency physician. These decisions are kept in a register of Swiss emergency physicians.
- Counting per paper. A publication counts for an author only if that author's own affiliation on that paper is a Swiss emergency unit. Papers an author published with another affiliation, for example before working in emergency medicine or in another specialty, are not counted for this author.
- Duplicates and corrections. Duplicates are removed and incomplete records corrected where possible.
- Two lists. EP first/last author: an emergency physician is first or last author. EP co-author: emergency physicians contributed as co-authors.
- Institution. Each publication is assigned to the emergency department or service of its last author at the time of publication, if the last author is an emergency physician.
- Senior researchers. Emergency physicians with at least four publications as last author with a Swiss emergency affiliation (single-author papers excluded).
- Updates. The collection is updated regularly with newly indexed publications; a complete check is done once a year. "New publications" are shown by their online (Epub) date.
Limitations
Publications not indexed in Scopus or PubMed (preprints, some congress abstracts) and affiliations recorded incorrectly by the databases may be missed. People are currently matched by surname and first initial, so rare homonyms can be merged. Corrections and missing publications are welcome (see contact below).
The project
This project was founded by Bruno Minotti and hosted by brunitika.ch with the aim of enhancing the visibility of Swiss academic emergency medicine. Emergency medicine should be recognized as a full specialty, which is not currently the case in Switzerland. This initiative highlights the ongoing efforts of emergency physicians to advance emergency care daily, grounded in high-quality research.
