(Ref.: VYK 17.03.2022 21-22/15(a)-9)

 

(3)  The Research Advisory Board is the ultimate decision making body in clarifying doubts and resolving disputes that may arise during the application of principles regarding the documentation of the activities and their classification within the activity types. In the clarification of doubts and resolution of disputes, the Research Advisory Board acts in  accordance with EMU Research Support Principles and EMU Academic Evaluation Criteria and takes into consideration the special requirements of each field of science as well as relevant work and ensures that their decision is non-biased, fair and in compliance with the principles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unit Researcher Incentive Application and Evaluation Commission

ARTICLE 5

(1)   With the purpose of fulfilling duties assigned by these principles and conducting a preliminary evaluation of the incentive applications, a Unit Researcher Incentive Application and Evaluation Commission made up of minimum three and maximum five members is formed under each Faculty or School upon the decision of the Faculty/School Board. 

 

(2)   In the event of the Faculty or School Boards not forming a Faculty/School Researcher Incentive Application and Evaluation Commission, in accordance with Article 10(3) of the Scientific Research Support Principles, the Project Evaluation Group appointed within the scope of each Faculty and/or Department’s Type C Scientific Research Project (BAP-C) Application Principles may be appointed for the aforesaid purpose with the approval of the Faculty or School Board.

 

(3)   In the commission, the most senior member in terms of title and/or work is appointed as the Chair. Commission members are selected by the Faculty/School Board amongst the most senior academic staff members in terms of title and different departments operating under the Faculty/School. While choosing the commission members, the Faculty/School takes special attention in making balanced choices amongst different departments operating under them. In the event of not having sufficient numbers of adequate academic staff members within the Faculty/School, members may be chosen amongst academic staff members whose field of expertise is closely linked to those specified. The service period for the commission members is two years. Members who have reached the end of the service period may be re-elected. In the event of a member leaving the commission due to various causes, a new member who will provide services during the remaining service period of the former member is elected through the same method.

 

(4)   In the event of not forming a Faculty/School Researcher Incentive Application and Evaluation Commission, upon the Faculty/School Board’s decision, Project Evaluation Groups (PEG) may undertake relevant duties within the same scope.  

 

(5)   The commission convenes with absolute majority of the number of members including the chair. Decisions are taken with absolute majority. In the event of a tie vote, decisions are taken in line with the vote of the commission chair.

 

(6)   The commission has the authority to clarify doubts that may emerge during the documentation of activities and their classification within the activity types and may transfer the matter of dispute or uncertainty to the Research Advisory Board for the final decision.

 

Researcher Incentive Application and Evaluation Process

ARTICLE 6

(1)    Academic staff members are expected to apply to the relevant Unit Researcher Incentive Application and Evaluation Commission. The Commission conducts a preliminary evaluation of the suitability of applications.

 

(2)    Within scope of the specified application calendar, academic staff members submit their incentive applications and a file containing samples, proof and documents for academic activities to the relevant Unit Researcher Incentive Application and Evaluation Commission in line with the specified methods and within the specified period.

 

(3)    If deemed necessary, the Unit Researcher Incentive Application and Evaluation Commission may demand additional information, clarification and documents from the applicants at all stages of the evaluation of academic activities. Applicants are required to fulfill the said demands within 10 working days. In the event of the failure of submission of missing documents or information, and not meeting the demands for additional information and documents, the Commission may reject the application.

 

(4)    The Unit Researcher Incentive Application and Evaluation Commission primarily determines whether the activities of the applicant are suitable for the evaluation of the commission. Applications not found suitable are transferred for the evaluation of the Research Advisory Board with justifications. The Research Advisory Board is the ultimate decision making body in the relevant applications.

 

(5)    The Unit Researcher Incentive Application and Evaluation Commission conducts an assessment of the applications and submits a signed copy of the decisions taken, the relevant evaluation report on the applications and a score table to the Research Advisory Board in compliance with the announced calendar. The aforesaid documents should also bear the approval of the department chair in departments operating under the Rector’s Office, deans in faculties and directors in other units.

 

(6)    Written justification/explanation for the academic activities which have been rejected in the evaluation report prepared by the Unit Researcher Incentive Application and Evaluation Commission or undergone a point value change has to be provided. 

 

(7)    The Research Advisory Board is responsible for examining the applications sent by the Unit Researcher Incentive Application and Evaluation Commission as well as the basis for the evaluation decisions taken by the commissions. In situations of necessity, the applicants may be asked to submit additional documents and information and/or changes may be applied on decisions submitted by the relevant units. The aforesaid demands should be catered for within 5 working days by the relevant academic staff applicant. In the event of the failure of submission of missing documents or information, or not meeting the demands for additional information and documents, the Research Advisory Board determines whether or not the required information is mandatory for the presentation of the incentive award and, if deemed necessary, rejects the incentive application with justifications.

 

(8)    The Board signs the meeting resolutions, the evaluation report for applications, and the attached score table and inform the relevant researchers in writing or through electronic environment of the decisions taken. Written justification for the academic activities which have been rejected in the evaluation report prepared by the Research Advisory Board or undergone a point value change has to be provided. 

 

(9)    Appeals against the decisions of the Research Advisory Board may be submitted to the said board within 5 working days following the announcement of the relevant decision of the board. The Commission finalises the decisions within 15 working days following the deadline for the application period for appeals. Decisions of the Research Advisory Board are final.

 

Evaluation of the Researcher Incentive Activity Areas

ARTICLE 7

(1)    In the evaluation of the award, date of the receival of the award, in the evaluation of the projects and research, date of the finalisation of the projects and research, in the evaluation of designs, date of the finalisation of the design, in the evaluation of patents, date of the patent registry, and in the evaluation of exhibitions, the launch day of the exhibition are taken as a basis.

 

(2)    In the evaluation of editorship in refereed journals, points belonging to the current year are taken into consideration. For each figure, a separate scoring takes place. Points for delayed publications or for publications which cannot be documented are not taken into consideration.

 

(3)    For the scoring of international presentations, the meeting/symposium/congress scientific board should be formed of minimum 5 international academicians from abroad, regardless of the place of the meeting (local or international).

 

(4)    For the scoring of national presentations, the meeting/symposium/congress scientific board should be formed of minimum 5 academicians, regardless of the place of the meeting/congress/symposium.

 

(5)    For an exhibition to be evaluated as international, its international quality should be confirmed by the relevant department’s board of science or arts.

 

(6)    Citations from other publications of academic staff members are included into calculations even though they do not appear in academic classifications and activities.

 

(7)    International presentations related to the topic of the project may be delivered within the same year the project is carried out. The presentation may be converted to an article or a book and, citations and awards may be received from such activities. Situations as such may be re-scored in separate or different academic activity fields.

 

(8)    Multiple awards may be received from the same activity. In situations as such, each award is included in the calculations separately.

 

(9)    In the scoring of the re-published books or book chapters, repeated exhibitions, concerts and demonstrations taking place within the same year, 50% of the activity score assigned within the same year of evaluation is applied.

 

(10) Formation of research infrastructure, entrepreneurship, projects targeted towards supporting the research culture of researchers and students, and projects working towards civic involvement and social responsibility activities fall outside the scope of the incentive award.  For each carried out project, the award is targeted towards the provision of complementary or supportive budgetary support from different institutions or organisations. No repeated scoring for work appearing as an extension/part of the same project is held.

 

(11) Activities falling within the scope of the journals indexed by those specified in the attached Activity and Score Table of these principles are included in the score calculation of researchers in all areas of science.

 

(12) Doubts that may emerge during the incentive evaluation of all scientific activities specified in the attached Activity and Score Table of these principles are clarified with a consideration of EMU Academic Evaluation Criteria and, principles and applications of EMU Academic Evaluation Board. EMU Research Advisory Board is the authorised body in taking decisions regarding the said issues.

 

(13) Those applicants who have been recruited at EMU as an academic staff member and, at the same time, who have a scientific publication/work or service published/carried out bearing the title of EMU may benefit from the researcher incentive award.

 

(14) Upon the approval of EMU Rector’s Office, the University Executive Board and Senate, the Activity and Score Table appearing in the Researcher Incentive Principles and the relevant attachments may be used in the performance evaluation of the academic staff members. Decisions regarding this issue is subject to the approval of the related organs of EMU.

 

 

Calculation of the Researcher Incentive Point

ARTICLE 8

(1)   The Researcher Incentive Award refers to the real or cash support specified in line with the rates/proportions determined by these principles by EMU Rector’s Office and the relevant Boards.  

 

(2)   Researcher Incentive Score is calculated as follows and in line with the attached Activity and Score Table:

a)     Primarily, the score for each academic activity type is obtained.  The calculation is carried out through the addition of rates obtained by the academic staff member from the sub-activities of each activity type and their multiplication by 10, 20 or 30 points, each of which are specified for each academic activity type. [Academic activity type score = addition of sub-activity rates x point specified for the type of activity]

 

b)     The main researcher’s incentive score for the Researcher Incentive Award is calculated through the addition of points obtained from each academic activity type.

 

(3)   The activity score obtained by the academic staff member from each activity type may not exceed 10, 20 or 30 points specified for each academic activity. Similarly, the researcher incentive score (total activity score) may not exceed 100 points.

 

(4)   The following principles are applied in the specification of score incentive rates for publication and presentation activities with more than one academic staff member: 

 

a)     For the first author, 100%,

 

b)     100% for the corresponding author and senior author (the final name in the article who has at least 10 international publications in the field of publication) and the name delivering the presentation,  regardless of the order of authors.

 

c)     For the second author, 90%,

 

      ç)   For the third author, 80%,

 

d)     For the fourth author, 70%,

 

e)     For the fifth and further authors, 50% is taken into consideration.

 

(5)    In the determination of the incentive score for the project activities in which more than one academic staff member has been involved:

 

a)     For the project coordinator, 100%,

 

b)     For the researcher or advisor academic staff member, 80%,

 

c)     For the researcher or advisor; senior instructor, research assistant, instructor, and expert, 70% is taken into consideration.

 

(6)   In the scoring of the citation activity type, number of persons is not taken into consideration. Separate scores are calculated for each researcher. Attributions to the same publication appearing in different chapters/sections of a book or article are considered as one citation only. However, in books which have different authors for each chapter, separate score evaluation for each citation in different chapters takes place.

 

(7)   For activities which lack a special sharing rate or the ranking/rating of authors, the ratio of “rate/number of authors” is taken into consideration. However, group activities such as exhibitions are evaluated out of full points regardless of the number of the persons.

 

(8)   In the calculation of the Researcher Incentive Award, doubts regarding the specification of activities to be included in the calculations are clarified through the decision of the Research Advisory Board in line with the Research Support Principles and Academic Evaluation Criteria. Whilst taking decisions regarding this item, the Research Advisory Board takes into consideration the qualities of the fields of science as well as the principles, applications and decisions of EMU Academic Evaluation Commission.

 

Other Provisions

ARTICLE 9

(1)   The Research Advisory Board evaluates applications submitted in areas other than the activity areas specified in these Principles within the scope of Article 8(8) of these principles and determines whether or not they are suitable academic activities for the researcher incentive support. 

 

(2)   To earn the right to apply for the Researcher Incentive Award, the researcher should possess minimum sixty (60) incentive points obtained from minimum three (3) activity areas. (Ref.: VYK 17.03.2022 21-22/15(a)-9)

 

(3)   Academic staff members who have terminated their employment in EMU are not entitled to apply for the researcher incentive award.

 

(4)   Following the presentation of the award, the Rector’s Office is informed about the applications detected to contain false information upon the decision of the Research Advisory Board. The Rector’s Office may initiate relevant procedures regarding the cancellation of the award or return of the payments issued.
