Publication Restricted Central government debt and economic growth: Evidence from 94 countries(Koç University, 2010) Hacıoğlu, Sinem; Yılmaz, Kamil; 0000-0003-2455-2099; Koç University Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; Economics; 6111Publication Metadata only Compliance of abstracts of randomized control trials with CONSORT guidelines: a case study of Balkan journals(Pensoft Publishers, 2022) Sut N.; Kocak Z.; Korkmaz S.; Uzun, Cem; Faculty Member; School of Medicine; 7722Background: Published reports of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are not compliant with the CONSORT checklist as much as they should. Objective: To assess the quality, in terms of the level to which they are compliant with the CONSORT checklist, of abstracts of RCTs published in general medical journals in the Balkan region. Methods: Two observers assessed the abstracts of RCTs published in five general medical journals of the Balkan region between 2012 and 2018 to determine the level to which the abstracts were compliant with the 16-item CONSORT abstracts checklist. Results: Of the 183 studies that were identified for evaluation, 124 (67.8%) were excluded from the evaluation. The average compliance level was 44.5% (95% CI: 41.9%–47.1%), the lowest being that for randomization (1.7%), funding (1.7%), numbers analysed (11.0%), blinding (13.6%), and trial registration (18.6%). However, the compliance level was very high for conclusions (99.2%), objectives (96.6%), interventions (95.8%), and primary outcomes (83.9%). The length of the abstract (word count) and the level of compliance were positively correlated (rs = 0.43; p = 0.001). Abstracts of trials published in journals that endorse CONSORT in their publication policies were more compliant than those published in other journals (47.5 ± 10.4 versus 40.8 ± 8.0, p = 0.024). Conclusion: The overall level of compliance with the CONSORT checklist was below 50%. To improve the quality of abstracts of RCTs, authors should be encouraged to use the CONSORT checklist, and editors should check compliance with the CONSORT guidelines as part the publishing workflow.Publication Restricted Corruption, democracy, and growth: an empirical analysis(Koç University, 2017) Kimya, Fırat; Aytaç, Selim Erdem; 0000-0002-6544-8717; Koç University Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; International Relations; 224278Publication Restricted Employment growth in a cross-section of Turkish districts :a spatial analysis(Koç University, 2009) Şener, Berk; Yılmaz, Kamil; 0000-0003-2455-2099; Koç University Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; Economics; 6111Publication Metadata only High-quality versus low-quality growth in Turkey: sauses and consequences(World Scientific Publishing Co., 2020) Acemoğlu, Daron; N/A; Üçer, Murat; Faculty Member; Graduate School of Business; N/AN/APublication Restricted Intangible capital and growth: An application of Turkey(Koç University, 2015) Çolak, Sina; Altuğ, Sumru; 0000-0003-2788-5235; Koç University Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; EconomicsPublication Restricted Is subsidizing students uniformly a pareto improvement andor welfare increasing?(Koç University, 2008) Yeşilırmak, Muharrem; Yılmaz, Kuzey; 0000-0001-6172-5126; Koç University Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; EconomicsPublication Restricted Questioning the achievability of the UN millennium development goals: Nationalizinglocalizing the MDG one in Turkey(Koç University, 2010) Gülderen, Yelda; Keyman, Emin Fuat; Öniş, Ziya; 0000-0002-1205-8336; 0000-0002-0129-2944; Koç University Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; International Relations; 45389; 7715Publication Restricted Reconciliation of economic growth and unemployment :Turkish economy after 2001 economic crisis(Koç University, 2008) Baydur, İsmail; Yılmaz, Kamil; 0000-0003-2455-2099; Koç University Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; Economics; 6111Publication Restricted Three essays on financial connectedness and systemic risk(Koç University, 2020) Akovalı, Umut; Yılmaz, Kamil; 0000-0003-2455-2099; Koç University Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; Economics; 6111
