Abstract

In this study, bibliometric analysis of graduate theses, which were researched under the general title of non-wood forest products in the National Thesis Center database of the Council of Higher Education (CoHE) was carried out based on various criteria. The criteria are: type, year, university, institute, depart-ment, gender, title of the advisors, language of writing, number of pages, number of references, keywords. For this purpose, the thesis search engine of CoHE was searched with the keywords "non-wood forest products and non-wood" in Turkish and "non-wood forest products" in English. As a result of the scan-ning process carried out on June 25 -July 5, 2023, 29 graduate theses on the subject of non-wood forest products have been identified, but one of the theses is not open access. 82% of theses within the scope of evaluation are master's thesis and 18% are doctoral thesis. The most graduate theses were completed in 2019. In total, graduate thesis on non-wood forest products was written in 11 different universities. The university that contributed the most to the subject within the scope of the study is Karadeniz Technical University. It was determined that the theses on non-wood forest products were mostly realized in the institute of science and forest engineering department. The authors of the graduate theses do not differ by gender and 90% of the advisors are male. It was determined that graduate theses were mostly completed under the advisors of professors. 43% of the theses were written in the range of 51-100 pages and approx-imately 50% of the theses benefited from 51-100 references. 89 different keywords were used in theses. Doctoral studies in this field can be increased.

Türkiye'de Odun Dışı Orman Ürünleri Konulu Lisansüstü Tezlerin Bibliyometrik Analizi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Yükseköğretim Kurulu (YÖK) Ulusal Tez Merkezi veri tabanında odun dışı orman ürünleri genel başlığı altında araştırılan lisansüstü tezlerin çeşitli kriterlere göre bibliyometrik analizi yapılmıştır. Kriterler şunlardır: tez türü, yıl, üniversite, enstitü, anabilim dalı, yazar cinsiyeti, danışman cinsiyeti, danışmanın unvanı, yazım dili, sayfa sayısı, referans sayısı, anahtar kelimeler. Bu amaçla YÖK'ün tez arama motorunda Türkçe "odun dışı orman ürünleri ve odun dışı", İngilizce "odun dışı orman ürünleri" anahtar kelimeleri ile arama yapılmıştır. 25 Haziran - 5 Temmuz 2023 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilen tarama işlemi sonucunda odun dışı orman ürünleri konulu 29 adet yüksek lisans tezi tespit edilmiş olup, ancak tezlerden biri açık erişim değildir. Değerlendirme kapsamındaki tezlerin %82'si yüksek lisans tezi, %18'i ise doktora tezidir. En fazla yüksek lisans tezi 2019 yılında tamamlanmıştır. Toplamda 11 farklı üniversitede odun dışı orman ürünleri üzerine yüksek lisans tezi yazılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında konuya en fazla katkı sağlayan üniversite ise Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi'dir. Odun dışı orman ürünlerine ilişkin tezlerin çoğunlukla fen bilimleri enstitüsü ve orman mühendisliği anabilim dallarında gerçekleştirildiği belirlenmiştir. Lisansüstü tezlerin yazarları cinsiyete göre farklılık göstermemektedir ve danışmanların %90'ı erkektir. Lisansüstü tezlerin çoğunlukla profesörlerin danışmanlığında tamamlandığı belirlenmiştir. Tezlerin %43'ü 51-100 sayfa aralığında yazılmış olup, tezlerin yaklaşık %50'sinde 51-100 kaynaktan yararlanılmıştır. Tezlerde 89 farklı anahtar kelime kullanılmıştır. Odun dışı orman ürünleri alanındaki doktora çalışmaları arttırılabilir.
