Such publications were identified through the Science Citation Index by checking the authors’ affiliation addresses to see if they included the word “Hacettepe”. The research carried out covers a total of 9688 publications between the years 1975-2003. More than one third of total contributions were published after the year 2000. Almost all of publications were written in English. Contributions by Hacettepe University researchers appeared in 1541 different journals. Among the most preferred journals were Turkish Journal of Pediatrics (526), Acta Crystallographica Section C-Crystal Structure Communications (163), Journal of Applied Polymer Science (109) and Journal of Pediatric Surgery (107). Four and more than four-author publications constituted 57% of all publications. Only 8% of publications had single authorship. Bibliometric findings obtained in this study can be used to evaluate scientific productivity of the university.
