We studied 187 papers published in the journals on astronomy and astrophysics indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI) for the decade period 1985-1994. These have been the papers that included at least one author listing an address from an institution in Turkey. We found that a great majority of the papers, whether theoretical or observational, went to only very small number (three) of a total set of 34 journals in the area. The distribution of papers by institutions revealed that about three fourths of the papers came from two universities: the Aegean University, and the Middle East Technical University (METU). We also found that the fraction of multiple authored papers has increased appreciably and the number of citations an ''average'' paper received has decreased gradually during the period considered.

CITATION STATUS OF TURKISH PHYSICS PUBLICATIONS IN FOREIGN-JOURNALS - A GLOBAL ANALYSIS UZUN, A; MENARD, A; OZEL, ME (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1993-09-01) We have studied the citation rates and characteristics of 572 Turkish physics publications that appeared in the source journals listed in the Science Citation Index (SCI) for the period 1982-1990 to drive the following results: The papers appeared in a set of 94 journals, and 68% of the total output went to 21 of these; half of which are journals of high impact. On the average, papers from Turkey that appeared in the American and European journals are cited at rates higher than the corresponding ''average''...
Assessing internationality of scholarly journals through foreign authorship patterns: the case of major journals in information science, and scientometrics Uzun, A (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-01-01) This article reports findings from a study of patterns of foreign authorship of articles, and international composition of journal editorial boards in five leading journals in the field of information science, and scientometrics. The study covers an American journal and four European journals. Bibliographic data about foreign authors and their national affiliation from five selected years of publication were analyzed for all journals. The foreign input of articles were extremely high in Information Processi...
A quantitative analysis of Turkish publication output in physics between 1938–1987 Uzun, A. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1990-7) The output of a total of 860 publications in physics for the period 1938–1987 is used to analyse the mainstream of physics research in Turkey. The productivity and growth characteristics of the research in experimental and theoretical areas as well as in different subfields and institutions in the country are briefly discussed. The total output is also assessed by its citation impact.
A bibliometric analysis of physics publications from Middle Eastern countries Uzun, A (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1996-06-01) I studied the publication efforts in physics in Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Turkey in terms of a total number of 2368 papers from these countries in international journals for 1990-1994. I looked for the national contributions, main subjects of activity, journal preferences of authors, and co-authorship patterns. Comparisons show that physicists from Egypt and Turkey combined, produced 75% of the total publication output. Half of the Egyptian papers went only to 16% of a set of 115 j...
Publication trends of researchers in Turkey in web of science education and educational research subject field: a descriptive trend analysis Tür, Nurcan; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2019) The main aim of this research was to employ bibliometric analysis methods to understand the general trends of peer-reviewed educational articles indexed under the subject areas of “education and educational research” Web of Science bibliometric databases that is the first and well-known bibliometric databases, between 1968 and 2015. This study analyzed a total of 10,729 documents 6,644 of which were articles based on the journal of publication, author institutional affiliation, and co-author collaboration. ...
