Türkiye’de Hayvanlarda Göz ve Hastalıkları Üzerine Yapılmış Lisansüstü Tezlerin Bibliyometrik Analizi

Abstract

Yapılan çalışma; Ülkemizde farklı türdeki hayvanların göz ve hastalıkları üzerine akademik platformda yapılmış lisansüstü tezleri bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle değerlendirip sonrasında yapılacak yeni çalışmalara katkı sunmayı amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada gereç ve yöntem olarak; internet üzerinden Yüksek Öğretim Kurumuna bağlı Ulusal Tez Merkezi’nin resmi sitesinde lisansüstü tezler bölümünde, araştırılacak konuya ait kelime veya kelimelerin yazıldığı tarama kutucuğuna farklı kombinasyonlarda anahtar kelime ya da kelimeler yazılarak aramaların yapılması biçiminde uygulanmıştır. Yapılan taramada yazılan farklı kelime kombinasyonları içinde en fazla “Göz Hastalıkları” anahtar kelimeleriyle ulaşılan 4886 lisansüstü tezden; 22’sinin hayvanlarda göz ve hastalıkları üzerine yapıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Tespit edilen tezlerden elde edilen bulgularda; araştırmaların %68.2’sinin yüksek lisans %31.2’sinin doktora tezleri olduğu, yapılmış tez çalışmalarında daha çok %40.91 deneysel türdeki araştırmaların tercih edildiği, göz ve hastalıkları üzerine yapılmış tezlerin yıllara göre dağılımına bakıldığında alanda yeterli çalışmanın olmamasının da etkisiyle yükselen bir trende sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak bu tarz çalışmalar; göz ve hastalıkları üzerine yapılan lisansüstü araştırma sayılarının yeterli olmadığı göz önüne alındığında yapılacak araştırma sayılarındaki artışla hem oluşan hastalıkların önlenmesinde yeni tedavi stratejilerinin geliştirilmesine olanak sağlayacak hem de yeni araştırmacıların oftalmik hastalıklara yönelik araştırma konuları için uygun işbirlikçileri veya projeleri seçmelerine katkı sağlayacaktır.

Bibliometric Analysis of Postgraduate Theses on Eye and Their Diseases in Animals in Turkey

Abstract

The study aims to evaluate postgraduate theses on the eyes and diseases of different types of animals in our country, which have been conducted on an academic platform, using bibliometric analysis methods, and to contribute to new studies to be conducted in the future. The study employed the following tools and methods: searches were conducted on the official website of the National Thesis Center affiliated with the Higher Education Institution, in the postgraduate thesis section, by entering different combinations of keywords or phrases related to the research topic into the search box. Among the 4.886 postgraduate theses found using the keyword “Eye Diseases” in the search, 22 were found to be on eye diseases in animals. Of the findings obtained from the identified theses, 68. 2% were master's theses, 31.2% were doctoral theses, and 40.91% of the thesis studies were experimental in nature. When looking at the distribution of theses on eye diseases over the years, it was observed that there was an upward trend, partly due to the lack of sufficient research in the field. In conclusion, considering that the number of postgraduate studies on eye diseases is insufficient, an increase in the number of studies will enable the development of new treatment strategies for the prevention of diseases and will contribute to new researchers selecting suitable collaborators or projects for research topics related to ophthalmic diseases.
