Abstract

Bu çalışma, Türkiye'deki kimya mühendisliği bölümlerini son beş yıldaki akademik üretkenliklerine göre sıralamak amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Literatürde Türkiye'nin üniversitelerini bölüm düzeyinde değerlendirerek sıralayan ilk ve tek çalışma olma özelliğini taşımaktadır. Akademik üretkenliğin hesaplanması için yayınlanmış uluslararası makaleler, tamamlanmış TÜBİTAK destekli araştırma projeleri ve lisansüstü tezler kullanılmıştır. Bölümler hem toplam etkinlik sayılarına, hem de kişi başına düşen etkinlik sayılarına göre sıralanmıştır; toplam etkinliğe göre yapılan sıralamanın toplumun ve bilimsel çevrenin algılarını daha iyi yansıttığı görülmüştür. Değerlendirmeler Türkiye'deki en iyi kimya mühendisliği bölümünün İstanbul Üniversitesi bünyesindeki bölüm olduğunu işaret etmektedir, ilk on bölüm üç büyük şehirdeki (İstanbul, Ankara, İzmir) üniversitelerdedir. Sadece ilk üç sırada yer alan bölümlerin makale üretimleri yurtdışındaki benzer bölümlerin düzeyine ulaşabilmektedir. Akademik olarak aktif olmayan akademisyen ve bölüm sayısı dikkat çekici düzeydedir; akademisyenlerin beşte biri son beş yılda WoS veritabanında dizinlenen dergilerde makale yayınlamamıştır, dört bölümde hiç lisansüstü tez yapılmadığı görülmektedir, sekiz bölümün hiç tamamlanmış projesi bulunmamaktadır. Dikkat çekici bir başka bulgu da yıldan yıla bölüm ve akademisyen sayısının artmasına rağmen toplam akademik çıktı sayısının artmamasıdır.

Ranking Chemical Engineering Departments in Turkey Based on Academic Performance

Year 2018, Volume: 8 Issue: 2, 125 - 132, 01.08.2018

Abstract

This study ranks the chemical engineering departments in Turkey based on their academic performances during the past five years. This is the first and only study that assesses and ranks the universities of Turkey at departmental level. Published international articles, completed TÜBİTAK research projects and graduate theses were used to calculate the academic performances. The departments are ranked based on both the total number of activities and the number of activities per academician; the ranking of total activities has been found to be a better reflection of public and scientific community perception. The results show that the highest ranked chemical engineering department in Turkey is in Istanbul University, and the top ten departments are located in the leading three cities (Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir). Only the top three departments in Turkey had comparable publication outputs compared to their international counterparts. The number of departments and academicians which are virtually unproductive in terms of academic output is also significant; one fifth of the academics did not publish any article in a journal that is indexed in the WoS database within the last five years, no graduate theses were produced in four departments, and eight departments did not have any completed projects. Even though more departments and academicians are added to the academic pool every year, total academic output does not increase in parallel.
