CITATION STATUS OF TURKISH PHYSICS PUBLICATIONS IN FOREIGN-JOURNALS - A GLOBAL ANALYSIS

1993-09-01
UZUN, A
MENARD, A
OZEL, ME
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'' papers. There has been a substantial shift of Turkish papers from European journals to American journals over the last few years. These changes are an example of the process by which science in a less developed country becomes integrated into the word scientific community.

Publication patterns of Turkish astronomers
Uzun, A; Ozel, ME (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1996-09-01)
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 ...
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...
Evaluation of environmental parameters in logistic regression models for landslide susceptibility mapping
Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi (Informa UK Limited, 2012-01-01)
The aim of this study was to determine how well the landslide susceptibility parameters, obtained by data-dependent statistical models, matched with the parameters used in the literature. In order to achieve this goal, 20 different environmental parameters were mapped in a well-studied landslide-prone area, the Asarsuyu catchment in northwest Turkey. A total of 4400 seed cells were generated from 47 different landslides and merged with different attributes of 20 different environmental causative variables i...
Electric energy policy models in the European Union : can there be a model for Turkey?
Kurbanoğlu, Özgür; Ercan, Hakan; Department of European Studies (2004)
The thesis discusses Turkish energy sector by using examples, projections made by the European Union, and positions of the experts and scholars. The work discusses the process of reformation of Energy sector, and what the obstacles and difficulties are. It is important that Turkey needs progress in the process of reformation that can be satisfied by using a functioning model in the field. Turkey has to apply the legislation of the European Union as an applicant country. Turkey needs a strategy for achieving...
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.
