One of the most important objectives of the TUBITAK Turkey Addressable International Scientific Publications Incentive (UBYT) Program, which contributes significantly to our researchers' habit of publishing in internationally indexed journals, is to increase the publication quality of our country. As it is known, in recent years, incentives are given to journals above the specified threshold values, and as the Article Impact Score (MEP) of the journal increases, it is aimed for our researchers to receive more incentives with both high incentive amounts and author sharing privileges.
In the 2022 UBYT Program, the MEP values calculated and published by JCR were taken as the basis for determining the incentive amounts. The 2022 UBYT Guidelines have not been changed, but some adaptations have been made for journals in AHCI since JCR started to publish MEP values for journals in the AHCI index. In this context, a threshold value was not set for AHCI journals as in the past. Instead, AHCI journals whose MEP values are published in JCR are incentivized with an incentive fee calculated according to the UBYT principles when it is above 2000 TL, and in other cases, it is incentivized with a fixed fee of 2000 TL.
In addition to these JCR-induced changes, incentive limits were also increased by up to 100%.
2022 The new incentive limits to be applied in the UBYT Program are as follows:
Incentive amounts: In the 2022 UBYT journal list, the incentive amounts have been determined as follows.
| MEPa:0.1 | Incentives: | 1000 TL |
| MEPb:1.5 | Incentiveb: | 15000 TL |
| MEPc:2.0 | Incentivc: | 17500 TL |
| MEPd:3.0 | Incentivesd: | 22500 TL |
The incentive amount for publication is set as minimum 1000 TL and maximum 22500 TL.
Sharing between Authors: Within the scope of encouraging international collaborations and researchers taking part in large working groups, for international scientific publications published in journals at or above the MEPy (1.5) threshold, sharing between authors will be made equally only among authors with Turkish addresses. Authors with foreign addresses will not be included in the incentive amount calculation. However, if the number of authors of the publication is above "10", the upper limit of the incentive fee to be paid to each author with a Turkish address has been determined as (6000 TL) by TÜBİTAK Board of Directors.
Incentive Amount that an Author can receive in a Publication Year: The lower limit of the incentive amount that can be given to an author is 500 TL. For scientific publications published in international scientific journals below MEP: 1.0, the total amount of incentives that an author can receive will not exceed 10000 TL.
