    TLDR 37.4% of dermatology theses in Türkiye were published, mainly in high-impact journals, with publication linked to the thesis year.
    This study analyzed 321 dermatology theses from Türkiye, registered between 2018 and 2022, to assess their publication rates and influencing factors. It found that 37.4% (120 theses) were published, with 78.3% of these appearing in SCI/SCI-Expanded indexed journals. The median time to publication was 2 years, with a median citation count of 2, a CiteScore of 4.1, and an impact factor of 2.3. The study found no significant relationship between publication status and factors such as author gender, advisor title, institution type, thesis topic, research type, or study design, but a significant association with the thesis year.
