This research aims to present the bibliometric profiles of doctoral dissertations completed in the field of Minstrel Literature in Türkiye between 2013 and 2023. The study was designed using a descriptive content analysis design, which is one of the non-interactive patterns within qualitative research approaches, in terms of its process and subject. The population of the study consists of doctoral dissertations on the topic of "Minstrel Literature" in the category of theses in the YÖK National Dissertations Center database. The year limitation has been extended to cover the years 2013-2023. As a result of the scanning, 29 theses related to the subject were identified and included in the analysis. According to the results; a significant majority of the studies were completed in 2015, and there was a noticeable decrease in the number of theses in 2016 and 2021. Atatürk University and Erciyes University have hosted the most doctoral theses in Minstrel Literature, becoming significant centers in this field. A significant portion of the doctoral theses were supervised by academicians with the title of Professor. When examining the gender distribution of researchers, it is observed that male researchers produce more theses in this field. The Department of Turkish Language and Literature is the academic department that focuses the most on doctoral theses. The length of doctoral theses is generally in the range of 400-499 pages. "Minstrel tradition," "Minstrel," and "Music" are the most commonly used and emphasized keywords in these studies. The recent decrease in dissertations intensity suggests the need for more research in this field.
