Most developed and developing countries encourage their universities to produce competent, high-quality, and widely distributed information in order to advance in a variety of fields. Academic publications and other related studies can be used to generate qualified information. The purpose of this study was to assess the academic performance of Turkey's foundation universities. MCDM approaches were used to analyze performance metrics such as publications, projects, and citations in foundation universities. The Entropy and Critic methods were used to calculate the weights of the criteria determined in the academic performance measurement. The results of these two approaches were combined using an adder operator, and the academic performance rating of foundation universities was established using the CoCoSo and Idocriw methods. On the other hand, the study's findings have a guiding quality for foundation institutions looking to improve their academic performance.

Vakıf Üniversitelerinin Akademik Performans Analizi İçin Yeni Bir Bütünleşik ÇKKV Çerçevesi

Öz

Gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerin çoğu birçok disiplin alanında ileri gidebilmek için üniversitelerine nitelikli, kaliteli ve yaygın etkiye sahip bilgi üretmeleri için teşvikler vermektedir. Nitelikli bilgilerin üretilmesi ise akademik yayınlar ve benzeri çalışmalar ile sağlanabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’deki vakıf üniversitelerinin akademik performansının ölçülmesine ilişkin bir araştırma yapılmıştır. Çalışmada vakıf üniversitelerindeki yayın, proje ve atıf gibi performans indeksleri ÇKKV yöntemleri ile değerlendirilmiştir. Entropi ve Critic yöntemleriyle akademik performans ölçümünde belirlenen kriterlerin ağırlıkları elde edilmiştir. Bu iki yöntemin sonuçlarını entegre etmek için ayrıca bir toplayıcı operatör kullanılmış ve ardından CoCoSo ve Idocriw yöntemleriyle vakıf üniversitelerinin akademik performans sıralaması oluşturulmuştur. Çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlar ise vakıf üniversitelerinin akademik performanslarını artırmasına yol gösterici bir nitelik taşımaktadır.
