Abstract
This study aims to make a quantitative analysis of the current research in the field of emergency equipment ergonomics. Based on 1125 papers obtained with keywords related to Emergency Equipment Ergonomics and Human Factors from Elsevier Scopus database, the core research themes and cooperation in this field are discussed by using BibExcel and Gephi. The further study analyzed keywords, core themes, co-word networks, author’s influence and collaborations patterns by utilizing method of bibliometrics and social network analysis. The results show that ergonomics researches in field of emergency equipment are relatively scattered and less relevant. The key research domains were identified to be “medical safety”, “safety standards and system”, “human error” and “usability”. The results of social network analysis show that the overall density of the literature network is at a low level, and the academic cooperation between developed countries in Europe and the United States is closer.
