Bir Dilbilim Tezi Örneğinden Hareketle Bilimsel Araştırma ve Yayın Etiği İhlalleri Üzerine
Based on the Example of a Linguistics Thesis on Violations of Scientific Research and Publication Ethics

Summary/Abstract: Preparing a scientific thesis is not an easy and frivolous matter that can be done by anyone. Writing a thesis without adequate knowledge of scientific ethics, knowledge, technique, theory and method can sometimes lead to dire consequences. When an uninterested and ill-equipped supervisor is added to this, the situation becomes unmanageable. In this article, based on the example of a thesis in the field of linguistics, with a similarity rate exceeding 53%, unnecessarily prolonged with word lists listed one after the other, written without consulting dictionaries by leaving out a large part of the data, and full of ethical violations and inaccuracies, some violations of scientific research and publication ethics that should be considered in academic studies are revealed. In our article, in which we want to show that the preparation of a thesis requires a good knowledge of theory, method and scientific ethics as well as serious knowledge, the thesis we have taken as an example is analyzed in terms of technical, theoretical, ethical, methodological and informational errors, and some evaluations and proposals are made in the conclusion. Our aim is to create awareness and sensitivity about scientific research and publication ethics, which are not given enough importance, and to be useful to young researchers who will prepare theses, papers, articles and books. Because if no one objects, this irregularity and indiscipline will continue to increase and Turkish academia will lose its prestige in international platforms.
