“…This result was consistent with the one from another UK study on medical theses defended during 2000 and 2010 from 39 universities, showing that 52.4% of the 82 theses produced publications [37]. The obtained result could suggest a higher emphasis on study creation in PBTs than traditional theses, as it was expected given the purpose of the publication-based thesis.…”

“…Universities could also benefit from thesis-related articles' visibility in terms of institutional rankings and research funding. The PhD graduates could benefit from it as successful publishing of results from PhD studies in shorter time can enhance future scholarly activity [11] and increase the success of post-doctoral and grant applications [37]. Adopting publication-based doctoral routes (prospective and retrospective) may be considered a response to the growing pressure on doctoral students to publish during candidature.…”

Abstract:Purpose: To assess the assumption that differences exist between the traditional and publication-based PhD routes in terms of the thesis' length and the scientific publications originating from it. Method: A retrospective comparative study on medical PhD theses offered by an online repository was performed. All free full-text medical PhD theses defended at United Kingdom institutions between 2003 and 2015 were analyzed and assigned to the traditional (TT) or publication based thesis (PBT) group. Several characteristics of theses and thesis-related articles were collected and analyzed. The thesis-related articles were investigated regarding quantity and visibility (citations, impact factor, and journal rank). Results: The theses length proved similar in PBT and TT group. PBT group included significantly more studies than TT group (mean 4.44 vs. 2.67) also reflected in significantly more thesis-related articles. The percentage of articles listed in Web of Science and published in a journal with impact factor proved significantly lower in TT compared with PBT group. On the contrary, article citations were significantly higher for TT. Both groups published similarly in high-ranked journals (Q1 or Q2). Conclusion: The research productivity originating from the PBT group was, as expected, significantly larger but not significantly more visible than those from TT group.

“…Studies of text similarity in abstracts and titles have provided interesting approaches to detect papers derived from theses (Salmi et al 2001;Benotmane et al 2012;Caan and Cole 2012), although they have not been able to discern with clear evidence outputs emananting from theses. However, on the basis of full-text comparison of theses and articles of the same author, the Discussion section has demonstrated to be the essential part to identify the derivative articles.…”

“…Although the meaning of such a term may be thought to be broadly understood, the parameters under which a work become 'derivative' are often not well-defined (Caan and Cole 2012;Dhaliwal et al 2010). Output and derivative works are semantically related terms, used sometimes as synonyms.…”

Medical theses and derivative articles: dissemination of contents and publication patterns

Doctoral theses are an important source of publication in universities, although little research has been carried out on the publications resulting from theses, on so-called derivative articles. This study investigates how derivative articles can be identified through a text analysis based on the full-text of a set of medical theses and the full-text of articles, with which they shared authorship. The text similarity analysis methodology applied consisted in exploiting the full-text articles according to organization of scientific discourse IMRaD (Introduction, Methodology, Results and Discussion) using the TurnItIn plagiarism tool. The study found that the text similarity rate in the Discussion section can be used to discriminate derivative articles from non-derivative articles. Additional findings were: the first position of the thesis's author dominated in 85 % of derivative articles, the participation of supervisors as coauthors occurred in 100 % of derivative articles, the authorship credit retained by the thesis's author was 42 % in derivative articles, the number of coauthors by article was 5 in derivative articles versus 6.4 coauthors, as average, in nonderivative articles and the time differential regarding the year of thesis completion showed that 87.5 % of derivative articles were published before or in the same year of thesis completion.

Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Ülkemizde yapılan tezlerin bir dergide yayınlanma oranı çok yüksek değildir. Bu ça-lışmada kadın hastalıkları ve doğum kliniklerinden yapılan tezlerin, ulusal ve uluslararası dergilerde yayınlanma oranları ve etkili faktörler değerlendirilmiştir. G Ge er re eç ç v ve e Y Yö ön nt te em ml le er r: : Yüksek Öğretim Kurulu Başkanlığı Tez Merkezinin internet sitesinden 2007-2008 yılları arasında yayın-lanmış, üniversite hastanelerindeki kadın hastalıkları ve doğum kliniklerinde yapılmış tüm tıpta uzmanlık tezleri değerlendirildi. Tezlerin konuları, çalışma tipleri ve yapıldıkları üniversiteler kayıt edildi. Daha sonra internet üzerinden üç ayrı kaynaktan tez sahibinin ismi ile arama yapılarak tezlerin herhangi bir dergide yayınlanıp yayınlanmadığı kontrol edildi. B Bu ul lg gu ul la ar r: : Çalışmaya, 151 uzmanlık tez çalışması dâhil edildi. Bu tezlerin 30 (%19,9)'u Science Citation Index (SCI) ve Science Citation Index-Expaded (SCI-E) grubu dergilerde, 26 (%17,2)'sı SCI ve SCI-E dışı Ulusal Akademik Ağ ve Bilim Merkezi (ULAKBİM) tarafından taranan ulusal hakemli dergilerde, 3 (%2)'ü SCI ve SCI-E dışı uluslararası dergilerde yayınlanmış idi. Yayın başına alınan atıf sayısı 1,2/yıl idi. S So on nu uç ç: : Çalışmamızda tezlerin yayınlanma oranları önceki çalışmalara göre yüksek gibi görünse de tüm tezlerin sadece %19,9'u SCI ve SCI-E kapsamındaki dergilerde yayınlanmış idi. Tezlerin bilimsel bir çalışma olduğu düşünülmeli, tez planlanırken yapmış olmak için değil, bilimsel bir çalışma yapmak için planlanmalıdır.A An na ah h t ta ar r K Ke e l li i m me e l le er r: : Akademik tezler; klasik makale; biyomedikal araştırma A AB BS S T TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : The rate of publishing of dissertations as an article in journals is not high in our country. In this study, the rates of publications in national and international journals and the factors that are effective in publication were evaluated. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : All medical dissertations that have been prepared at obstetrics and gynecology departments of university hospitals and presented between the years 2007 and 2008 were analyzed from the web site of the thesis center of education council. The topics of the theses, the types of studies, and the universities where they were made were recorded. Then the authors's name were searched whether the dissertations were published in a journal or not, by searching the dissertation in three different resources. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : A hundred and fifty-one dissertations were included in the study. Among them, 30 (19.9%) were published in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E) group journals, 26 of them (17.2%) were in national journals which are scanned in National Academic Network and Science Center (ULAKBİM) and 3 (2%) were published in non-SCI and non-SCI-E international journals. The number of citations received per publication was 1.2/year. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : Although the public...
