“…5 The same was found for documents published by authors affiliated with 11 Brazilian graduate programs in PE. 6 The current results also corroborate the study of Yaman & Atay, 16 who analyzed PhD theses in Turkish sports sciences. The authors found that 86.3% of theses were from health sciences institutes, whereas only 10% originated from social sciences institutes.…”

“…In Turkish, Yaman and Atay (2007) [4] used theses presented between 1988 and 2002 to study and characterize the area of sports science. They found that most theses were prepared at the Institute of Health Sciences, although their content primarily involved training and movement -that is, these theses were more closely related to the humanities and to natural and social sciences.…”

A new model to identify the productivity of theses in terms of articles using co-word analysis

A thesis defense should be considered as not the end but the starting point for scientific communication flow. How many articles truly extend doctoral research? This article proposes a new model to automatically identify the productivity of theses in terms of article publications. We evaluate the use of the co-word analysis technique to establish relationships among 401 doctoral theses and 2,211 articles journal articles published by students in a graduate program at a Brazilian National Nuclear Research Institution (IPEN-CNEN/SP).To identify the relationship between a thesis and an article published by the same author, we used co-descriptor pairs from a controlled vocabulary. To validate the proposed model, a survey was applied to a random sample of theses authors (n = 128, response rate of 79%), thus establishing a minimum threshold of three coincident co-descriptors to identify the relationship between theses and articles. The agreement level between an author's opinion and the automatic method was 86.9%, with a sampling error of 7.36%, which indicates an acceptable level of accuracy. Differences between the related or nonrelated distributions of articles were also demonstrated, as was a reduction in the median lag time to publication and the supervisor's influence on student productivity.

In this study, we examined 6,834 master's and PhD theses conducted on computer science and engineering between 1994 and 2013 in Turkey. Thesis data were compiled from the YÖK national thesis database web portal. We used text mining techniques to extract research concepts and their co-occurrence data from graduate thesis abstracts. Then, we applied social network analysis techniques on the concept cooccurrence networks to visually explore core research concepts, and connections and relationships among them. We showed that text mining and social network analysis techniques together were very effective for knowledge discovery in scientific documents in computer science and engineering domain.
