Abstract

Amaç: Bilimsel makalelerin ana kaynaklarından biri olan tez çalışmaları, ülkenin bilimsel verimliliğinin temel göstergeleridir. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla, fizyoloji uzmanlık tezlerinin yayınlanma durumu daha önce bildirilmemiştir. Bu çalışma ülkemizdeki fizyoloji anabilim dalları tarafından yayınlanan fizyoloji tıpta uzmanlık tezlerinin bilimsel dergilerde yayınlanma durumunun değerlendirilmesi amacıyla planlanmıştır.

Yöntemler: Gözlemsel olan bu çalışmaya Şubat 2019 tarihinde Yüksek Öğretim Kurulu Başkanlığı Ulusal Tez Merkezi internet veri tabanında (https://tez.yok.gov.tr/UlusalTezMerkezi/) yer alan, ülkemizdeki tüm tıp fakültelerinin fizyoloji anabilim dalı birimlerinden sisteme girilmiş 2004- 2014 yılları arasında yayınlanmış 82 adet fizyoloji uzmanlık tezi dahil edildi. Bu tezler yapıldıkları yıl, yapıldıkları kurum, tezin klinik ya da hayvan deneyi olma durumu, yazar cinsiyeti, tez danışmanın akademik ünvanı, yayınlanma durumu, yayına ait özellikler ve tez yazarlarına ait diğer özellikler açısından incelendi.

Bulgular: Çalışmamıza dahil edilen 82 adet fizyoloji uzmanlık tezinin 47’si (%57.3) bilimsel dergilerde yayınlanmıştı. Bu yayınların 15’i (18.3%) Science Citation Index (SCI), 17’si (20.7%) Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E), 9’u (11.0%) uluslararası diğer indekslerde, 5’i (6.1%) Ulakbim TR dizin, 1’i (1.2%) ulusal hakemli dergilerde yayınlanmıştı. 

Sonuç: Çalışmamızda fizyoloji uzmanlık eğitimi sonunda yazılan uzmanlık tezlerinin makale olarak yayınlanma oranının oldukça yüksek olduğu ortaya konulmuştur.

Results: Forty-seven (57.3%) out of 82 physiology specialty theses that are included in our study were published in the scientific journals. Fifteen (18.3%) of these were published in a journal with Science Citation Index (SCI), 17 (20.7%) in Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E), 9 (11.0%) in the other international indexes, 5 (6.1%) in Ulakbim TR index, 1 (1.2%) was published in the national peer-reviewed journals.
