In our country, preparing dissertation is essential for the research assistants in order to complete their expertise in medicine. It is aimed to produce hypothesis for researchers via writing their dissertations, to collect data for the hypothesis established, to make the analysis and interpretation of these data, and to gain the ability for the comparison of the findings obtained with the literature. In this study, we want to investigate the publication rates and citations of urology dissertations that are written at the university hospitals in our country between 2008 and 2011.
Urology dissertations that are written at the university hospitals between 2008 and 2011 were reviewed by entering the website of Board of Higher Education Dissertation between 23-27 March 2017 and 229 dissertations were reported. The publication rates of these dissertations were analysed.
Hundred and fourteen of 229 dissertations (49.7%) analysed were published. Of these publications, 75 (32.7%) in Science Citation Index Expanded, 24 (10.4%) in international, 15 (6.5%) are published in national indexed peer-reviewed journals. While the publication rate of 81 dissertations written in universities located in 3 metropolitan cities (Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir) of Turkey was 50.6%, the publication rate of 148 dissertations written in remaining universities was 49.3%; and no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups (p=0.96).
Preparing dissertation is a challenging process that requires considerable effort and time. At the end of this process, it is necessary to publish the dissertation in order to have it reach more people and to contribute to the literature. Even though publication rate of dissertations written in urology at university hospitals in Turkey was at acceptable level, there have still been problems required to solve.
在我国，撰写论文对于医学研究助理完善其专业技能至关重要。撰写论文旨在为研究者提出假设，为所建立的假设收集数据，对这些数据进行分析和解释，并获得将所得结果与文献进行比较的能力。在本研究中，我们想调查2008年至2011年期间我国大学医院撰写的泌尿外科论文的发表率和被引次数。
于2017年3月23日至27日登录高等教育委员会论文网站，对2008年至2011年期间大学医院撰写的泌尿外科论文进行审查，共检索到229篇论文，并对这些论文的发表率进行分析。
229篇被分析的论文中有114篇（49.7%）发表。在这些发表的论文中，75篇（32.7%）被《科学引文索引（扩展版）》收录，24篇（10.4%）发表在国际期刊上，15篇（6.5%）发表在国内索引的同行评审期刊上。土耳其3个大城市（伊斯坦布尔、安卡拉和伊兹密尔）的大学撰写的81篇论文的发表率为50.6%，其余大学撰写的148篇论文的发表率为49.3%；两组之间未发现统计学显著差异（p = 0.96）。
撰写论文是一个具有挑战性的过程，需要付出大量的努力和时间。在这个过程结束时，有必要发表论文，以便让更多的人看到并为文献做出贡献。尽管土耳其大学医院撰写的泌尿外科论文发表率处于可接受水平，但仍存在一些问题需要解决。
