No full textAfter the information explosion serials have increased rapidly. This increase required decision according to the criteria defined by the international databases. Selected journals were indexed by the international databases and presented to researchers worldwide. Articles in these databases were used and cited by researchers. As a result of this statistical information collected, it was used in the measurement of scientific activities. For example for authors, articles, journals, institutions, countries. These measurements can be made only with a few databases. In these databases using factor of citations received, used in measuring quality of journals. In the course of time, it was accepted in the scientific world that quality criteria of an academic journal being indexed in international databases and having high impact factors. These criteria were used as selection criteria in libraries to manage serials collections. Academic journals which do not meet these criteria stayed out of range and the problem occurred while these journals are being published. In this context, a study which cannot be accessed cannot be read. Unread publications cannot be cited. If the journal is not cited it’s impact factor will be low. Researchers do not want to send their publications to Journals with low impact factors with the concern of their publications not being read. If a journal cannot find a quality article to publish, it is going to end soon. In the light of these considerations, this study to primarily aims to investigate the causes of negative affects on the scientific quality of national periodicals. In this direction the most important two negative reasons of national academic serials publishing are national scientific policy in practice and accessibility to journals that are the subjects of this thesis. In our study national journals which were published in the field of medicine and health sciences were detected and access status in libraries and databases are investigated to find out the effect of scientific policy in practice on the national academic journals. We examined the journals and publications which are in the collections of national and international databases

They offered comprehensive facilities at a variety of levels which include executing operations, management, and decision steps. Information centers, also, took place among those organizations which were effected by this improvement. In traditional sense, understanding based on bibliographical control and retrieval has changed with the database management systems. Especially, database management systems based on relational model offered user a comprehensive, complex and combination of existing information and new techniques concerning semantic data modelling currently became available in design procedures. Soon it is accepted that system design is quite important. Besides this, information center and information specilist, concepts were to be revieved once more. According to this increasing curve of advancement database management system is examined in structural, operational and historical aspects. Design techniques which involve logical formation of system is examined and one of these techniques is adapted to one of library operations. The information specilist whose main responsibility is to establish a mutual connection between user and information has taken over a very important role at design stage and this is proved indirectly in this work

No full textThe most important and true function of deposition practices making a contribution to knowledge sharing at uppermost level is to make it possible to present philosophy and art productions of the country by depositing to the advantage of the researches of present and future generation. But, deposition practices dated back ancient times don’t include electronic publication types occurred by the development of information technology. However, in our present day, most of the philosophy and art productions are produced and used in electronic medium. It is necessary to include electronic publications in legal deposit and to deposit in a legal dimension in order to ensure registered culturel productions to be deposited completely. Because electronic publications have differences in comparison to printed ones, it is impossible for electronic publications to be deposited by antedated legal deposits. These differences cause methods and techniques different from printed ones to be used for electronic publications at the ranks of acquisition, preservation and serving that form the process of deposition. Electronic publications are evaluated in two categories as online and offline. Because offline electronic publications have physical transporters, they resemble to printed ones. However, online publications’ being different regarding their structural features make it difficult for them to be included in deposition process of online publications. The countries considering online publications as a part of cultural existence start leading project enterprises for the deposition of online publications in order to see the problems that will be come across in the deposition of electronic publications and responsible units clearly. When these developments have being occurred in the deposition of electronic publications at international level, deposition practices cannot be performed sufficiently in our country. The reason for this is to try to perform legal deposit providing only printed publications dated in 1934 to be deposited. However, all the online and offline electronic publications as well as printed publications form a part of cultural existence belonging to our country. Consequently, it is necessary to take measures in this sense without allowing waste of much more time
