Strategies, Problems and Solutions for the Establishment of the National Database and Citation Index

Abstract
Citation indexes make it possible for researchers to access the academic studies faster and more efficient than ever. SCI-Web of Science, Scopus, Google Academic etc. are used to retrieve information about the citations of articles published in international journals. Aside from those international indexes many countries have started to create national or regional indexes. Among well known examples are SciELO created by the Latin American countries, Islamic World Science Citation Index formed by Muslim countries and the Chinese Citation Index. Although the need for a comprehensive National citation index has long been expressed, such a database has not been completely established yet in Turkey. Evaluation of the scientific publications in a National citation index is an important indicator of the scientific development in a country. A major obstacle to the evaluation of our present and future scientific output is the fact that a sufficient Turkish Citation Index (TCI) has not been established yet and online access to the journals is very low. To achieve this a national policy must be undertaken and all the effort must be conducted through a strategy. This study proposes solutions for the development of a TCI database and new infrastructures, projects and applications related to it. This study, being the first in this area in our country, is expected to make great contributions to the development of the TCI and to the development of future generation solutions.

Prediction of Flow Value of Bituminous hot Mixtures by Regression Models
In this study, flow value of the bituminous hot mixtures that can be determined by Marshall Test has been aimed to be predicted by regression models based on material and mixture properties. In this context, data on bitu...
A High Efficiency Design of LLC Resonant Converter for Data Center Applications
In this study, high efficiency design approach for a LLC resonant DC-DC converter to be used in data center applications is proposed. In the design method, first harmonic approximation (FHA) is used for the optimization...
The Effect of PbO and Se in Different Ratios on Thermal Properties of Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2Ox BSCCO Glass Ceramic System
In this study, thermal properties of Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2Ox (BSCCO) doped PbO and Se in different ratios has been investigated. The glass transition temperature (Tg), the temperature of crystallization initiation (Tc) and the pe...
An Investigation of Combustion and Performance Characteristics of a Direct Injection Diesel Engine Fuelled With The Blends of 10% Fish Oil Biodiesel and 90% Diesel Fuel
In the current study, combustion and performance characteristics of a direct injection diesel engine fuelled with the blends of 10% fish oil biodiesel and 90% diesel fuel were investigated experimentally. For this reason...
Z in ’Sequential Model’ Spin Analysis for New Adjustment
In the e + e multiplier, the spin analysis for the Z boz new tuning boson was studied. In the Sequential Model, a normalized cross-section of different spin states was investigated. This study shows that the new setting...
