Özet:

 This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis of the postgraduate theses registered in the National Thesis Center of the Council of the Higher Education in Türkiye, which were carried out over a period of more than 50 years 1972-2022 from 1972 to 2022, the date of the first postgraduate study prepared in the main branch of forest engineering, until the last access date 19.04.2023 was determined. Bibliometric analysis of the data of postgraduate theses obtained from the Council of the Higher Education database were carried out with the help of the MAXQDA 2020 package program and Microsoft Office Excel. The parameters determined in the bibliometric analysis of the theses are as follows: distribution status by years, universities with the highest contribution, distribution according to thesis types and institutes, supervisor title, permission status, thesis writing language, related professional discipline subjects, words included in the index. As a result of the study, it was revealed that 81 of the theses examined were prepared at the masters thesis level, 92 were within the Institute of Natural and Applied Sciences, 99 were written in Turkish, 83 were open to access, the most theses were published in 2019, almost half of them were carried out with an academic advisor with the title of Professor doctor and 69 were written by male authors. In these theses prepared in the main discipline of forest engineering, a total of 34 different professional disciplines, including botany, biology, landscape architecture, zoology, environmental engineering, agriculture, and forestry and forest engineering, were included. With this study, most of the data, such as the disciplines with which forestry science is intertwined, general orientations, which disciplines are mostly studied in this context, etc., have been presented to the academic environment with an objective evaluation. The fact that there is no comprehensive and detailed study that performs bibliometric analysis of postgraduate theses prepared in the main branch of forest engineering, and that the potential of the main branch of forest engineering at the academic level is revealed for the first time from a holistic perspective through this study shows the originality dimension of the study.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiyede Yükseköğretim Kurulu Ulusal Tez Merkezi bünyesinde kaydı bulunan ve orman mühendisliği ana bilim dalında hazırlanan ilk lisansüstü çalışmanın başladığı tarih olan 1972 yılından 2022 yılına dek, çalışmada son tarama tarihi olarak belirlenen 19.04.2023 zamana kadar yaklaşık olarak 50 yılı aşkın sürede 1972-2022, yapılmış olan lisansüstü tezlerin bibliyometrik analizini gerçekleştirmektir. Yükseköğretim Kurulu veri tabanından elde edilen lisansüstü tez verilerinin bibliyometrik analizleri, MAXQDA 2020 paket programı ve Microsoft Office Excel yardımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tezlerin bibliyometrik analizinde parametreler: yıllara göre dağılım durumu, en yüksek katkı veren üniversiteler, tez türlerine ve enstitülere göre dağılım, danışman ünvanı, izin durumu, tez yazım dili, ilişkili olunan mesleki disiplin konuları, dizinde yer alan kelimeler şeklinde belirlenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda; incelenen tezlerin 81inin yüksek lisans tezi düzeyinde hazırlandığı, 92sinin Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü bünyesinde yer aldığı, 99unun Türkçe yazım dilinde kaleme alındığı, 83ünün erişime açık olduğu, en fazla tezin 2019 yılında yayınlandığı, neredeyse yarısının Profesör Doktor ünvanlı akademik danışmanla gerçekleştirildiği ve 68,6sının erkek yazarlar tarafından yazıldığı ortaya konmuştur. Orman mühendisliği ana disiplininde hazırlanan bu tezlerde botanik, biyoloji, peyzaj mimarlığı, zooloji, çevre mühendisliği, ziraat ile ormancılık ve orman mühendisliği olmak üzere toplam 34 farklı meslek disiplinine yer verilmiştir. Bu çalışma ile ormancılık biliminin hangi disiplinlerle iç içe olduğu, genel yönelimleri, bu bağlamda daha çok hangi bilim dallarına yönelik çalışmaların yapıldığı vb. çoğu veri nesnel bir değerlendirmeyle akademik ortamın hizmetine sunulmuştur. Orman mühendisliği ana bilim dalında hazırlanan lisansüstü tezlerin bibliyometrik analizini gerçekleştiren kapsamlı ve detaylı herhangi bir çalışmanın yapılmamış olması, ilk kez bu çalışma aracılığıyla bütüncül bir bakış açısıyla orman mühendisliği ana bilim dalının akademik düzeydeki potansiyelinin ortaya konulması, çalışmanın özgünlük boyutunu göstemektedir.
