University patenting has been drawing attention of researchers studying universityindustry relations, technology transfer mechanisms, changing research motives of the academe and consequences on their scientific performance. This study aims to develop a methodology for comprehensive analysis of university patents as the milestone of commercialization process of scientific knowledge produced by the academe, and evaluates preliminary findings for Turkey. For this purpose, patent applications at the Turkish Patent Institute are analyzed and a relational database is designed for storing university and researcher (academic inventor) characteristics, as well as industrial classification information of patents. In addition, interviews are conducted with academics in inventors list of patent applications to gather qualitative information about research activities and “commercialization” of patents. Results indicate that university patenting in Turkey is extremely low in number and commercialization is at its early stages. However, the results are based on very limited information, and with the aim developing a methodology, this study is open for further improvement in information gathering, as well as consistency in analyses.

Patent applications/grants and their economic analysis for Turkey Gökovalı, Ummuhan; Türel, Oktar; Department of Economics (2003) The basic aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between patents and some economic variables at sectoral level for Turkish economy for the period 1985-98. In order to classify patent data into a sectoral classification system, we employed two concordances, namely, YTC and MERIT. The study includes three distinct empirical analyses. The first one analyzes the contribution of knowledge stock to industry-level productivity in Turkey. Our preferred method is GMM-System estimation, results of which...
Establishment and Development of Academic Spin – Off Firms by Evidence from Turkey and Some Policy Recommendations Erden Topal, Yelda (Science And Technology Policies Research Center, Middle East Technical University (Ankara, Turkey), 2012) This study aims to identify the main characteristics of academic spin – off firms, which evolve from universities through commercialization of intellectual property and transfer of technology developed within academic institutions. Academic spin – off firms can be conceptualized as a subset of new technology-based firms and they emerge as important actors of the innovation system in Turkey. Despite the extensive empirical evidence pointing to the conclusion that most new technology-based firms do not grow a...
Academic procrastination and academic perfectionism as predictors of self-forgiveness Belgin, Burçi; Demir, Ayhan Gürbüz; Department of Educational Sciences (2019) The purpose of this study is to investigate the predictive roles of academic procrastination and academic perfectionism on self-forgiveness levels of Turkish undergraduate students. The sample composed of 568 participants (242 male, 326 female). They were from different faculties of Middle East Technical University and their age varied between 18 and 25. In the study, Turkish versions of Academic Perfectionism Scale, Procrastination Assessment Scale – Students, Heartland Forgiveness Scale, and Demographic I...
The Evaluation of an interdisciplinary postgraduate program: the case of science and technology policy studies (TEKPOL) at METU Atay, Ahmet; Akçomak, İbrahim Semih; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2019) This thesis contributes to the literature on the evaluation of postgraduate studies particularly looking at the science, technology and innovation policies. It focuses on the case of Science and Technology Policy Studies (TEKPOL), METU, which has a history of 20 years. Established in 1997, METU-TEKPOL has an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of the economic, social and political factors that drive technological change and innovation. In order to investigate the influence of the TEKPOL postgraduate ...
Investigating the perceptions of university students and faculty about virtual physics and chemistry laboratory activities Güler, Hilal; Delialioğlu, Ömer; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2022-2) This study aims to investigate the perceptions of university students and faculty about virtual chemistry and physics laboratory activities. The study was carried out in the 2020-2021 academic year with students and faculty members who were registered to general chemistry and general physics courses in 18 different universities in different parts of Turkey. Participants of the study attended virtual laboratory activities on weekly basis as a mandatory part of their courses during the fall and spring semeste...
