Abstract

This study aimed to find graduate theses related to the titles of ‘media literacy’ and ‘ the literacy of media’ to reveal their trends. Although media literacy implies the same meaning, it may appear in the National Thesis Center in a different way. In the study, graduate theses (145) completed in the field of media literacy between 2007 and December 2022 were analyzed. According to the results; theses on media literacy were mostly carried out in institutes of social sciences (87) and educational sciences (47); 18 theses were completed in Journalism; a significant number of doctoral theses were completed in Communication Sciences and Turkish Education; Journalism came to the fore in master degrees; a total of thirty (30) master theses on ‘media literacy’ and ‘ the literacy of media’ topics were completed in thirty (30) different disciplines.

Değerli Yazarlar,

JCER dergisi 2018 yılından itibaren yayımlanacak sayılarda yazarlarından ORCID bilgilerini isteyecektir. Bu konuda hassasiyet göstermeniz önemle rica olunur.

Önemli: "Yazar adından yapılan yayın/atıf taramalarında isim benzerlikleri, soyadı değişikliği, Türkçe harf içeren isimler, farklı yazımlar, kurum değişiklikleri gibi durumlar sorun oluşturabilmektedir. Bu nedenle araştırmacıların tanımlayıcı kimlik/numara (ID) edinmeleri önem taşımaktadır. ULAKBİM TR Dizin sistemlerinde tanımlayıcı ID bilgilerine yer verilecektir.

Standardizasyonun sağlanabilmesi ve YÖK ile birlikte yürütülecek ortak çalışmalarda ORCID kullanılacağı için, TR Dizin’de yer alan veya yer almak üzere başvuran dergilerin, yazarlardan ORCID bilgilerini talep etmeleri ve dergide/makalelerde bu bilgiye yer vermeleri tavsiye edilmektedir. ORCID, Open Researcher ve Contributor ID'nin kısaltmasıdır.  ORCID, Uluslararası Standart Ad Tanımlayıcı (ISNI) olarak da bilinen ISO Standardı (ISO 27729) ile uyumlu 16 haneli bir numaralı bir URI'dir. http://orcid.org adresinden bireysel ORCID için ücretsiz kayıt oluşturabilirsiniz.
