| description | Abstract
This study aims to establish the profile of Turkish scholarly electronic journals. Initially, scholarly electronic journals were identified. Then, the journals’inventory was established and analyses for establishing a country profile were performed by using the data gathered from the inventory. Some 253 “scholarly electronic journals” were identified, and 60% of those journals are published by Turkish universities and 10% of them are electronic only. Two-thirds of thepresent journals have started e-publishing after the year 2000 and only four journals ’ back issues go back to 20 years or earlier It is observed that, information technology is not being fully integrated into the function andprocess of e-publishing. For example, access points to journals ’ contents are limited: only 39% of the journals facilitate search in current and back issues. Again, just 19% of the present journals accept online article submission. Examination of subjects and languages of journals has shown that researchers in health sciences (37%) and social sciences (34%) are the two major groups that strive to publish in electronic journals. Other subject groups are in a slow transformation process. Languages other than Turkish are also used for scholarly communication in Turkish journals (39% of journals are in only Turkish). Some 94% of journals provide open access. |
