Akademik Veri Yönetim Sistemi
TURKISH JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY-TURK BIYOKIMYA DERGISI, cilt.36, 2011 (SCI-Expanded)
Growing interest in Turkish science is an evidence of the increased visibility of the country in the global arena. Turkey has increased its global share of scientific output from 0.7% in 2000 to 1.9% in 2009. Since 1990s, universities have adopted promotion rules that require academics to publish in ISI-indexed journals. Biomedical research dominates Turkish research, akin to West Europe. Therefore, graduate education in health sciences could serve as a vantage point to monitor the overall research activity. There are more than 60 graduate study institutes in Turkey that are responsible for the administration of MSc and PhD programs in health sciences. The number of universities has grown fast in the last 20 years and there is a considerable gap to fill academic positions.
