Küçük ayrıntılara odaklanmak ve ampirik yöntemlerin bir araştırma amacı olarak ele alınması giderek günümüzün iktisat araştırmalarının yapısını oluşturmaktadır.
Bu çalışmada, bu yapıya geçişi anlamak için iktisat alanındaki araştırma faaliyetlerini inceleyerek bir başlangıç yapıyoruz. Çalışmada, hızla gelişen teknolojinin ulaşılabilirliği ya da kariyer hedeflerini gerçekleştirebilmek için akademisyenlerin giderek daha fazla yayın yapma baskısı altında kalmalarını ele alıyoruz. Bu gibi etkilerin, günümüzün akademik araştırma ortamını nasıl biçimlendirdiği üzerine gözlem ve düşüncelerimizi sunmayı amaçlıyoruz.
Bu yazının ilk versiyonu Türkiye Ekonomi Kurumu’nun 12 Aralık 2015 tarihinde Ankara’da gerçekleştirilen “İktisat Eğitimi ve İktisat Araştırmaları” Çalıştayında “İktisatta Yayın Yapma Telası: Yöntem ve Etik Sorunları” baslığı ile sunulmuştur. Yazarlar, Çalıştay katılımcılarına görüş ve değerlendirmeleri için, ayrıca, editör ve hakemlere de çalışmanın son biçimine katkıları için teşekkür ederler.

Contemporary economic research is increasingly characterized by an inordinate focus on the small details of a given subject area and a tendency to view empirical methods as a goal of the research. This paper provides a starting point to understand the path towards this structure and makes a general overview of research activities in the field of economics. As factors leading to this path, we consider rapidly advancing technology and the ever-present pressure on academics to publish so as to climb the career ladder. We aim to offer observations and thoughts on how such factors shape the academic research environment of today.
