Özet
Objective: Preparing specialization theses is mandatory for medical residents to complete their education. This study aimed to investigate
the residency theses in the field of the spine and evaluate their publication rates in scientific journals.
Materials and Methods: A search of the Council of Higher Education Theses Center database was performed on May 3, 2021. Using a detailed
search, the subject division was filtered as “orthopedics and traumatology,” time limitation was set between 2001 and 2020. The Web of
Science, PubMed, and Google scholar databases were searched to determine the publication status of theses. The index of journals that
published theses were divided into three groups: SCI/SCI-E, ULAKBIM, and other peer-reviewed international indexes.
Results: One-hundred and ninety-two theses were included in this study. A total of 75 (39.1%) theses were published. Thirty-eight (19.8%)
of theses were published in a journal with SCI/SCI-E index, 19 (9.8%) in the Ulakbim TR index, and 18 (9.4%) in the other peer-reviewed
international indexes. Applied science methods had the highest rate of publications (60%). The topic of basic science had the highest rate of
publication (52.6%).
Conclusion: The publication rates of spine specialty theses are apparently at an acceptable level compared to other studies. It was assessed
that the topic of scoliosis was the most preferred subject and we suggest that original subjects who can contribute to the literature is
important for the evolution of the spine. The basic research methods had higher publication rates than the clinical research methods.
