A comparative bibliometric analysis study in scinentific disciplines at Turkey
No full textIn order to continue their existence in a rapidly developing world, countries have given importance to the production of knowledge along with its transmission to new fields of application. During the production of new ideas, sharing of knowledge between scientists with alternative knowledge and skills has been encouraged within the modern research systems.
Recently, the analysis of collaboration has been the main focus point of bibliometrical studies, where mathematical and statistical methods are used. The analyses, which belong to these studies, are obtained through the utilization of citation databases. The Institute for Scientific Information, having been a comprehensive database where bibliometrical studies could be done, continued its reputation until 2004. However, a competitive environment has been created among the databases indexing citations with the establishment of Scopus in 2004. Therefore, a need arose for revealing the profile of Turkey in both databases along with comparing the studies with co-authors in the fields of social and human sciences as well as physical sciences in order to define interdisciplinary differences.
In the light of this requirement, the topic of the thesis is to compare and evaluate the collaborated publications among countries, institutions and authors through the samplings of Middle East Technical University and Bilkent University in terms of studies with co authors listed under the title of mathematics in the field of basic sciences between 2001 and 2010.
From the comparison of articles submitted from Turkey between 2001 and 2010, differences have been determined depending on the structures of WoS and Scopus databases. Additionally, the results obtained from both databases concluded that the percentage of articles with international co authors have found to be below the world average
Service quality of web information systems
No full textThe recent developments in technology made it possible to provide various services through the Web. In order to design better web sites and have users continue to use them, it is essential to understand what users expect of web services, how they perceive such service dimensions as security, design and quality along with the ones they value most. Using the survey method, this study tests the perceived service quality of one for-profit (Idefix), one non-profit (ULAKBİM) web sites by means of the E-Qual Index comprising twenty-two questions that measure the concepts of information quality, usability and service interaction. The E-Qual Index was administered through an online questionnaire that was filled out by 1,782 Idefix and 118 ULAKBİM web site users. Demographic data about users as well as their views on web sites were also gathered. Data were analyzed through various statistical tests.
The factor analysis results show that the Idefix web site users found five different service dimensions important: the information quality, trust, usability, design and empathy. The information quality and trust were treated as one service dimension by the ULAKBİM web site users while the other three were the same. The Idefix website users consider trust more important than the other service dimensions. As for the ULAKBİM users, the most important dimensions of the web service quality are the information quality and trust. Users’ approach to a shopping web site is similar to their approach to a non-profit information presenting website. The users of both web sites found the content and information quality important. Neither web site completely meets the users’ expectations. The sex, education and age of Idefix users and the education and experience of ULAKBİM users have statistically significant affect on their expectations and/or perceptions of service dimensions of the information quality, trust, usability and design.
As a conclusion, users of different web sites evaluate the service dimensions of design, usability and empathy in a similar way. Users’ opinions of the importance of service quality may vary according to their personal characteristics and experiences. Therefore, regardless of their types, web sites, should be designed in accordance with the dimensions of service quality and the principles of usability that match the users’ viewpoints. The user community of a given web site should be thoroughly analyzed and the users’ expectations should be regularly measured in order to revise the design and structure of the web site

Get PDFThe knowledge gained through scientific and systematic work needed to be shared with others to have a meaning and this development took place along with socialization and several social activities. The change of the old knowledge known since the ancient times with the emergence of new knowledge, as it is the case all around the world, has also led to the political shaking and influences on the society and social institutions in our country. The initial period of establishment which could be defined as positive, has come to an end with the inability of the Ottoman Empire to adopt to the developments came with Renaissance and Reform in the West. The nation-building efforts fueled with the French Revolution also spread to the Ottoman society. In the XVIII century, steps were made by the Ottoman rulers to cope with the developments in the West and first modernization efforts were seen in the military end engineering education fields. But the new ways of using the information and development of libraries could not stop the backward movement of the Empire. Reforms and the I. and II. Constitutional Monarchy periods, times of destructive wars, have led to great changes in the Ottoman social life and institutions. Different political movements have influenced the Ottoman society and institutions in the XIX century. The confrontations and conflicts emerged from contradictory political movements continued till the foundation and afterwards of the Republic The individuals who led certain institutions, also reflected their own personal worldviews, besides the Republican principles, to the institutions they work in. The field of information/knowledge and document administration was also greatly affected by the political developments and the ideological approaches of those who took the lead in this field. The leading conservative structure, which was Turkish nationalist in the beginning but then became pro-German nationalist and then pro-American, has for long years dominated the knowledge/information and document administration field creating its ""micro government"" there. The political motivations of the persons who were influential in the field and the conflict and frictions among them had a negative impact on the development of institutions and thus negatively influenced both the state's and citizens' approach towards information/knowledge and the members of the occupation
