Abstract

Access to health care is regarded as one of the most fundamental human necessities. Health systems were established to provide both health care and financial resources. The cost of financing the health system puts a lot of strain on the economies of developing countries, where emergency departments are responsible for providing primary medical care and planning further therapies. The emergency department is appropriately alluded to as the hospital's front door, and regardless of the crowds and an enormous number of clients, each new patient is expected to get the finest quality services from the minute they arrive. At any time and minute of the day, the Emergency Department, the beating heart of medical sciences, is the shelter of all ailments and sufferings of patients. Emergency specialists have a wealth of knowledge and abilities in a variety of situations. the development of emergency medicine helps allocation of the same amount of available financial resources to save more people's lives. This development requires sustainable research; While emergency physicians are at the forefront of patient care, they may have less time to record their observations due to their patients' critical conditions. This situation is more pronounced in marginalized countries, which face more problems in primary care systems and their emergency departments. The consequences of this paucity of research may be apparent in emergency medicine bibliographic analyses. United States is the most productive country in the field of emergency medicine (1,2) and Other Middle Eastern and East Asian countries play a negligible influence in this respect. Also, the overwhelming majority of emergency medicine studies are published in non-EM publications (3). So, the priority of launching this journal is to meet the research concerns of emergency medicine, with a focus on marginalized countries' health care systems. In this tough scientific competition, authors' research must be well conferred to a wide range of readers to boost their influence; this journal intends to achieve a significant influence on emergency medicine science in a short period by employing scientific principles such as Search Engine Optimization for Medical Publishing.
