Türkiye’deki Uluslararası İlişkiler Akademisyenleri ve Bölümlerinin Akademik Etkilerinin Google Scholar Verilerinden Hareketle İncelenmesi

Abstract

Since computers revealed the possibility to collect and evaluate large data, there has been a significant increase in studies measuring the impact of academics. This study aims to analyse International Relations scholars and departments in Turkey by using the data from Google Scholar citation counts. Through this measurement, the study will generate a new ranking list as alternative to existing measurement lists. To control outcomes, Google-generated ranking lists will be compared with data generated from Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). Thus, the study aims to make a data-based contribution to the quality assessment literature, which has become increasingly popular in Turkey.
