Bilgi Üretimi Sürecinde Bilgi Kaynakları ve Kütüphane Kurumunun Yarattığı Değeri Saptamak Üzere Atıf Analizinin Kullanımı ve Metodoloji Sorunu - I

Literatürde yer alan uygulama örneklerinde de görülmektedir ki, atıf analizi ve bibliyometrik araştırmalar, disiplinimizde ve genel anlamda bilgi üretimi sürecinin ürünlerini değerlendirme aşamasında dikkate alınması gereken önemli enstrümanlardır. Bununla birlikte atıf analizi ve bibliyometriye dayalı çalışmaların, ele alınış biçimlerinde, bir başka deyişle metodolojik yaklaşımlarında, yeterlilikleri yanında yetersizlikleri de göz önünde tutularak, mümkün olduğunca güçlü yanlarının eksiksiz biçimde öne çıkarılması, zayıf yanlarının da elemine edilmesi yönünde çaba gösterilmesi gerekmektedir ve konu, hâlâ yeni metodolojik yaklaşımlara açıktır. Literatür, izlenebildiği ölçüde, özellikle kütüphane kurumunun bilgi üretimi sürecinde katkısını somut veriler ile destekleyen metrik çalışmalar açısından kimi boşluklara sahiptir. Boşluğun, yine disiplinimiz alanında çalışan akademisyenler ve uygulama düzeyinde araştırma yapan meslektaşlar tarafından geliştirilecek yeni yaklaşımlar ve metodolojiler ile doldurulması gerekmektedir.

The Use of' Citation Analysis Detecting the Value of' the Information Resources and the Library Institution in the Process of Information Production and Methodology Problem -1

As it is seen in the application examples in the literature, citation analysis and bibliometric studies are significant instruments to consider in the discipline and at the evaluation stage of products of the process of information production in general. In addition, to this in the treatment, in other words in the methodological approaches of citation analysis and researches based on bibliometrics, taking into consideration the deficiencies in addition to qualifications, it is necessary to put forward its powerful aspects in full as much as possible and eliminate its weak sides and this subject is still open to new methodological approaches. Literature as far as it can be traced has some certain gaps regarding the process of information production of library institution in terms of metrical studies which support its contributions with concrete data. The gap should be filled with new approaches and methodologies by colleagues engaged in research at the application level and academicians working in the field of our discipline.
