The importance of the "quality culture" has been increasing more and more in the efforts aiming internalizing quality in managerial and organizationalactivities. The main purposes of this study are to reveal the way and frequency of the quality culture issue in the academic literature, to identify the characteristics of the studies carried 849out, and in addition, to contribute to the literature by compiling national-scale studies on the subject. For these purposes, the studies titled "quality culture" were searched in Dergipark, Google Scholar and YÖK National Thesis Center and scientific studies titled "quality culture" published in academic research journals, master's and doctoral theses in Türkiye between 1990-2022 (October). Source types of publications, publication year, publication frequency, author information, universities and institutes, and breakdown of publications by departments, etc. properties were examined using the bibliometric analysis method. A total of 29 scientific studies, including 14 master's theses, 3 doctoral theses, 9 articles and 3 conference publications were reached and studied. It has been revealed that studies on quality culture are mostly carried out at the master's thesis level, the distribution of publications by years is uneven, and these studies are very inadequate compared to studies in both the field of business and social sciences and education. It is expected that this study will raise the awareness about the quality culture and provide an overview of the relevant national literature and serve as a roadmap for future research.

Academic journal publishing is more complex than popular journal publishing. There are legal, academic, ethical, and technical rules and standards that academic journals must comply with. One of the technical standards is the provision of rich metadata. To open scientific publications to the international scientific world, it is vital to assign DOI, to use unique identifiers such as ORCID for authors, ROR ID for institutions, and to provide rich metadata. It is crucial to assign DOIs to these publications. Unfortunately, very few academic books in Turkey are assigned DOIs. DOI usage in refereed journals is better. However, we are faced with other problems here. The information in the PDF files of the articles and the article metadata used in DOI retrieval should be the same. However, while the PDF file contains current data, article metadata may contain information older than the first version of the study. DOI assignment is a technical process. Firstly, the minimum information about the article should be sent to the Crossref system, and the DOI should be assigned. Secondly, the article metadata should be fully registered in the Crossref system. Many publishers do not perform this second process. Although DOI is assigned to the articles by paying a fee, the article metadata is not sent to Crossref and opened to the international community. Another problem is that article metadata is sent to Crossref only in the language of the article. However, rich metadata should be sent to Crossref in Turkish and English. It is necessary to assign DOIs to Turkey-centred scientific books and even to assign DOIs to all academic books backwards. In addition, making the rich metadata of publications available through Crossref in Turkish and English languages thanks to the DOI obtained by paying a fee, will increase the visibility of Turkey-based scientific production in a short time.

Âzerî İbrahim Çelebi was an important poet of the second half of the 16th century. Âzerî, known for his mathnawi titled Nakş-ı Hayâl, belonged to a well-established family of scholars. The poet, who died young, is reported to have a diwan in some sources. However, a copy of his diwan has not yet appeared. Âzerî's many poems in ghazal and musammat style found a place in the poetical miscellanies of the period and were also published in some academic studies. The least known poems of the poet are his qasidas. 11 qasidas of Âzerî have been identified in five poetical miscellanies. Five different researchers have Latinized the texts of nine of these poems based on a single copy. This article includes the rest of his qasidas for the first time. Five of Âzerî Çelebi's qasidas were written in praise of Sultan Selîm II. The poet also wrote one ode each about Sultan Murâd III, Hoca Sa'deddîn, Bostanzâde Mehmed Efendi, Sokollu Mehmed Pasha, and Nişancı Mahmûd Çelebi. It is not known for whom a qasida was written. This article consists of three parts. In the first part, the life and works of Âzerî are emphasized. Based on the mühimme book numbered 51, some essential details about the poet's private life have been pointed out. In the second part, the poetical miscellanies containing the qasida are introduced, and information is given about the method followed in the text edition. Afterward, evaluations were made about Azeri Çelebi's published qasidas. After the qasidas were examined in terms of their content, their form, language, and style features were emphasized. The last part presents the critical texts of eight qasidas and the Latinized texts of three qasidas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study seeks to determine the bibliographical profile of articles published in academic journals in Turkey between 2007 and 2021 on Resource Consumption Accounting (RCA), one of the new-generation costing methods. To this end, 33 articles were examined making use of Google Academic, Ulakbim, DergiPark and other databases. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the articles examined for the study were mostly published in 2019, 2020 and 2021, that almost half were empirical studies, that 80% of the empirical studies included work specifically on the manufacturing sector, and that the majority of the studies were written by men and had two authors. The most articles on RCA were observed to have been published in The World of Accounting Science. The articles were seen to have been prepared by writers from 24 different universities, most of whom had the title Asst. Prof. Dr. The largest contributions to the literature on RCA were found to have been made by academics from Çukurova University, Osmaniye Korkut Ata University, İnönü University, Kütahya Dumlupınar University and Karabük University.

Purpose: This paper aims to determine the problems of web citation accessibility in the Turkish Librarianship journal. Method: For this purpose, bibliographic records of the peer-reviewed studies published in the Turkish Librarianship journal between the years 2005 and 2020 were downloaded from the DergiPark archive and web citations were obtained according to the selected publication types. Then, usage rate of web citations, their access levels, the half-life of URLs, and accessibility of top-level domain names were identified and analyzed. Findings: It has been observed that web citations are frequently used in peer-reviewed articles in the Turkish Librarianship journal, and it has been understood that the usage trend has been increasing continuously in recent years. The average half-life of web citations in data is three years. In addition, the accessibility rate of web citations used in recent articles is higher than earlier ones. Implications: The findings indicate that there have been persistent decay and accessibility issues in the web citations of the Turkish Librarianship journal, and support policies encouraging the use of persistent identifiers should be developed to increase the accessibility of web citations. Originality: This is the first study in the Turkish academic literature to investigate the status of web citations of articles based in Turkey. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the current study is to shed light on the research trends of academic studies published in the last decade in key marketing journals published in Turkey and in National Marketing Congresses. The findings of this longitudinal study will provide an understanding of the progression and direction of marketing studies in Turkey. With this purpose, three marketing journals based in Turkey and National Marketing Congress, which is held every year and which is the most creditable marketing congress held in Turkey, were selected as units of analysis. Articles published in the journals and completed proceedings were reviewed in accordance with four research questions: 1 - What are the most commonly used theories in marketing research in the last decade in Turkey and their originating disciplines? 2 - What are the topics studies in these researches? 3 - What are the research methods used in marketing studies in Turkey? 4 - What unit of analyses are used in these studies? The first research question aims at determining whether academic studies in marketing display a theory-driven structure through time. The second question reveals the variety of subjects discussed. The third research question tries to determine if there are any novel approaches in research methods, and if any, within which range do these methods vary. And the final question researches micro and macro studies in the field. The study is developed in a similar vein of the reviews by Kim et al. (2014) and Naletelich et al. (2017) who have made similar trend determinations in advertising research and in a five-year period of Journal of Marketing, respectively. The review of 203 articles and 755 proceedings provides an insight into the research trends in marketing discipline in Turkey. were analyzed by frequencies, percentages and chi-square test.

In the early 1930s, the Republic government, appointed Prof. Albert Malche to be the one to carry out a reform within the foundation of the University (Darülfünun) in Istanbul. In this context, a certain number of faculty members were dismissed on July 31, 1933 by a law enacted. According to Albert Malche's report (!) regarding the University (Darülfünun), more than half of the faculty members were removed from the University (Darülfünun) with a variety of justifications; such as the violation of the age limit, or because they were deemed scholarly insufficient (a decrease in academic publishing, put less effort into academic studies, inefficient teaching methods, or a lack of an additional language), or simply fall behind the revolutions. The abandoned lecterns were reassigned instead, to the German academicians of Jewish origins, who have escaped the Hitler oppression. In this article, you shall find the life stories of two physicians (Başkut & Bilirler), who have faced the exclusion during the University Reform. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Journals and the congresses are the formal information channels that form the basis for scientific communications. Editors of scientific journals have responsibilities toward their journals, authors and readers. They are responsible for monitoring the peer-review editorial process so as to ensure the fairly, timely, and thoroughly realization of counselling procedures. The journals have their own manuscript selection, and publication criteria. The peer-review system plays an important role in ensuring the integrity of the scholarly record. Clear communication between the journal and the reviewers carries importance. Editors mediate all interactions between reviewers and authors so as to facilitate consistent, fair and timely review. Reviewers are selected by the editors and they are responsible for the fair and scientific evaluation of the manuscripts in time. The process of selecting a suitable journal for publication should be taken seriously because the identification and avoidance of predatory journals and conferences is an important issue. Unfortunately, currently, researchers receive little education or support about navigating journal selection and submission processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Reviews and critics articles add values to the literature in general when the ethical principles are followed. In addition to contributing to the development of academic publishing, it also contributes to reducing the error rate in scientific production processes. Criticism provides useful results when subjective assessment criteria are eliminated. It is important that every academics adheres unconditionally to this criterion which is necessary for the development of Turkish librarianship literature. In this letter, responses are given and criticized to biased criticisms in the review article published in the latest issue of Turkish Librarianship. The mentioned review was written by Erdinç Alaca for the book namely 'Public Libraries: Tendencies and the New Roles from the Past to Future' [TL 33 (1), 71-81]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Scientific researches and studies, the aim and the goal of the study, how it has been prepared, its limitations, research methods, data collection techniques, sources of information and the results obtained should be announced to science world clearly and in accordance with the rules after the reliability is tested. The subject of medical and health sciences are the leading disciplines that require to share researches, new inventions, knowledge and experience rapidly and accurately. The professionals of medical and health sciences must continue to follow the information resources of their field, to search, and at least to follow the innovatios after their formal education. Various meetings have been held in our country about periodicals that have an important role in the dissemination process of knowledge and particularly about how to increase their scientific qualities. Among these, Health Sciences Publishing Symposiums for the that have been organized by ULAKBİM draw attention with their continuity and effiency The aim of this article is to examine the subjects dealed in studies to increase the qualities of academic and scientific journals of medical and health sciences published in Turkey and especially in symposiums of periodicals for the health sciences in terms of their contributions to academic publishing. Topics mostly as journals of medical and health sciences, scientific and medical research and publication ethics, consultancy systems, editorship, responsibilities of editors, authorship and article writing, citation index, discussed in symposiums that started in 1991 and held information annually after in 2003 involve important information not only for reseachers, authors but also for editors, consultants and publishers. Besides the symposiums, it has been expected that the study of DergiPark which is the new project of ULAKBİM will contribute to our scientific periodicals. As a result, advice for the future symposiums and the points that should be completed in communique books are mentioned in the article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Turkish academia places a premium on citation indexes. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of related academic articles and popular scientific papers. Considering the importance of citation indexes in Turkey, recent developments on this issue should not be overlooked. One of the most important developments in this area has been the expansion decision of the company, which is the commercial owner of the citation indexes. With the expansion decision, a large number of journals from many countries including Turkey were added in the citation indexes. It is impossible to say that this decision of expansion could only be related to the increasing number of journals all around the world. Some new formations (such as Google Scholar, Scopus, etc.) that have taken place in the market as the competitors of citation indexes, and the owner company's tendency to accommodate the journals of the countries to which it sells databases in order to increase its market share, should have influenced this decision. In such an environment, Turkey needs to evaluate its own journals and try to acquire a solid place within the citation indexes. This study investigates the Turkey addressed journals included in the citation indexes in terms of their places in the production of scientific publications in Turkey, and their impact factors in the related areas. The study also aims to reveal the extent to which Turkey addressed journals in citation indexes can be accepted as domestic. The results of this study show that in Turkey addressed journals, four-fifth of papers have at least one author from Turkey, and one-third of all publications are in Turkish. In addition, it was found out that the scientists in the editorial boards of Turkey addressed journals in citation indexes are mainly from Turkey. It was also found out that, Turkey addressed journals have relatively low impact factors in the related fields, the reason of which could be attributed to the regional characteristics of Turkey addressed journals.

A citation is one of the major measures that evaluates the scientific journals reputability, reliability and usability in the international arena. The rate of the citation of a journal is a significant criterion for that particular journal's scientific evaluation. Together with the scientific value of the journal, the citations used in an article are important benchmarks for the assessment of that article. In this paper, citations of peer reviewed articles from two library and information science journals which are published by Turkish professional associations and indexed in the international databases are going to be analyzed.

The most concrete product of a scientific study is a published article. The publication process needs to efforts of editors and reviewers in addition to authors. The most important information for editorial decision is based on the comments of reviewers in the publication process. The reviewers are the scientists who have competency for the research field of the manuscript. The aim of the study, relevance of the methods used for this aim, correct presentation and interpretation of the results, and the most importantly, novelty of the study should be evaluated in the peer review process. The queries of whether the study give new information and adding value to the science should be objectively answered. The reviewers should be unprejudiced and constructive, and should aim to achieve publication of the study if there is not fraud or the study is not totally redundant and erroneously planned. Comments of the reviewers are the most important step of publication process for improvement of the study and adding novelty to the science. Shortcomings of the study should be clearly stated by the reviewers to the authors. If necessary, additional references should be suggested to the authors. One of the most important issues is confidentiality in peer review process. Currently, authors and reviewers are blinded to each other's identity in many journals. However, there is a tendency of openness. Identity of authors are revealed to the reviewers in some journals. And a totally open method is implemented in some journals, wherein both authors and reviewers know the identity of each other. A special attention should be paid to ethical standards in peer review process. Peer review process is changing today. There is a tendency towards open system by the facilities of Internet.
