Doçentlik Eligibility — PARTIAL Pre-Screen Against the ÜAK Criteria
Pre-screens a candidate's publication list against the doçentlik (associate
professorship) point gate set by ÜAK (Üniversitelerarası Kurul / the
Inter-University Council) for the Sağlık Bilimleri (Health Sciences) field.
Given a publication list with each item's index tier and author role, it applies
the per-field point table, the author-share rule (paylaşım kuralı), and
pass-fail-checks the four mandatory minimums it can compute from a publication
list — reporting the exact shortfall on any that fail.
This is a PARTIAL pre-screen, not an eligibility decision — and it never
outputs an "ELIGIBLE" verdict. The live TABLO 10 imposes several more
mandatory minimums (a TR Dizin / national-article requirement, a citation
minimum, a scientific-meeting minimum, an education minimum, and per-category
point caps) that depend on inputs a bare publication list does not carry. The
scorer lists those unmodelled minimums in every report and the best status it
can return is PRESCREEN_PASS_VERIFY_REMAINING — "all computable checks pass;
a human must still verify the rest against the live ÜAK source." A failed
computable check returns FAIL_MODELLED_CHECK.
This is a deterministic offline tool: the same input always yields the same
status. It does not decide the quality of a candidate's work — that is the
doçentlik jury's role — and it does not look up a journal's live index
status (use alterlab-trdizin for that, then feed the result in).
Quick Start
Am I eligible for doçentlik? Here is my publication list with indexes and author roles.
Doçentlik için yeterli puanım var mı? Yayın listem ekte (Q tier + yazar sırası ile).
Calculate my ÜAK doçentlik points for the Sağlık (Health) field.
Do I meet the ≥3 lead-author Q-article requirement, or am I short?
→ Runscripts/score_docentlik.py over the list (JSON), read the
summary.verdict, then present the score breakdown, every failed computable
minimum, the unmodelled mandatory minimums the user must still verify, and
the verify-against-current-period disclaimer below. Never restate the
PRESCREEN_PASS_VERIFY_REMAINING status as "eligible" — it is not.
CRITICAL: Verify Against the Current ÜAK Period
ÜAK republishes the doçentlik criteria each application term (başvuru
dönemi), and the per-field point tables change between terms. The numbers
bundled in this skill are pinned with a date in
and reflect the TABLO 10 as captured then.

references/uak_criteria.md
Sağlık Bilimleri (Health
Sciences)
Before relying on any output, the candidate MUST confirm the live criteria
for their own field and term against the primary ÜAK source:
https://www.uak.gov.tr/ (Doçentlik → Başvuru Şartları / criteria tables). The
binding regulation is the Doçentlik Yönetmeliği (RG 15/4/2018 No. 30392),
at https://www.mevzuat.gov.tr/mevzuat?MevzuatNo=24519&MevzuatTur=7&MevzuatTertip=5.
Every output this skill produces ends with this disclaimer. Never present a
verdict as the final official decision.
When to Use This Skill
Use it when the request is about scoring a publication list for the doçentlik
point gate — total points, post-doctorate points, the lead-author Q-article
minimum, or the co-author share calculation.

The Scoring Model
Modelled checks (the four this tool computes — all must pass)
Total points ≥ 100 across all scored work.
Post-doctorate points ≥ 90 — points earned from work published after
the candidate received the doctorate / uzmanlık (doktora-uzmanlık sonrası).
Pre-doctorate work still counts toward the 100 total but not toward this 90.
International SCIE/SSCI article points ≥ 40 — sum of post-doctorate
Q1–Q4 article points (the intl_scie_ge_40 check). AHCI/ESCI/TR Dizin do
not count toward this floor.
At least 3 lead-author Q-indexed articles — articles in a Q1–Q4 (SCIE/
SSCI, quartile-ranked) journal where the candidate is the başlıca yazar
(lead author). For Sağlık, Q4 counts toward this ≥3 (verified against the
live ÜAK Sağlık criteria). See the share rule for who qualifies as lead.
Passing all four returns PRESCREEN_PASS_VERIFY_REMAINING (not "eligible").
Failing any returns FAIL_MODELLED_CHECK with the exact shortfall.
Mandatory minimums this tool does NOT model — the user must verify these
The live Sağlık Bilimleri TABLO 10 also requires the following, which a bare
publication list cannot supply. The scorer lists every one of them in
summary.unmodelled_minimums and cannot clear them:
National / TR Dizin articles — ≥3 ulusal makale, ≥2 in TR Dizin, başlıca
yazar in ≥2 (resolve TR Dizin status with alterlab-trdizin first).
Per-category point caps — thesis-derived, books, citation, project, thesis
supervision, patent, award all have ceilings (values single-source — verify).
Why no ELIGIBLE verdict. Because these minimums are unmodelled, a green
pass on the four computable checks is necessary but not sufficient. The
tool therefore structurally cannot output "eligible" — re-verify the full
TABLO 10 checklist against the live ÜAK source for the candidate's term. Full
detail and provenance: references/uak_criteria.md.
Per-field point table (bundled, dated)
The point a publication earns depends on the field (alan) and the journal's
index tier. This skill bundles the Sağlık Bilimleri TABLO 10 values
captured on the last_verified date:
Index tier
Points
Q1 (SCI-E / SSCI, 1st quartile)
30
Q2

Q3
15
Q4
10
AHCI (Arts & Humanities Citation Index)

ESCI (Emerging Sources Citation Index)

TR Dizin (ULAKBİM national index)
10
Other fields (Fen, Sosyal, Mühendislik, …) use different tables — the script
accepts a field selector but only ships the verified Sağlık table. For another
field, supply that field's table from the live ÜAK source; do not reuse the
Sağlık numbers. Full table and provenance: references/uak_criteria.md.
Author-share rule (paylaşım kuralı)
A publication's face points are scaled by the candidate's authorship role:
Single author → full points (×1.0).
Two authors → the lead author (başlıca yazar) gets 0.8; the
non-lead second author gets 0.5 (the two are not scored equally).
Three or more authors → the lead author (başlıca yazar) takes
half the points; the remaining half is split equally among all
remaining authors.
The script computes the candidate's scaled contribution per item from the author
count and the candidate's role. Worked numeric examples and the exact rounding
convention are in references/scoring_rules.md.
başlıca yazar (lead author) — first author, corresponding author, or the
sole supervising (advisor) author of a student-derived article, per ÜAK's
definition. The candidate declares this per item; the scorer trusts the flag
but reports it so a reviewer can audit it.
Pipeline (how to run it)
1. Capture the publication list
Each item needs: a title (free text), the field, the index tier (one of
Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 AHCI ESCI TRDizin), the author count, whether the candidate is
lead author, and whether it is post-doctorate. Example JSON:
If a journal's index tier is uncertain, resolve it first: for TR Dizin status
run alterlab-trdizin; for quartile, check the candidate's records. Do not
guess a tier — an unknown tier must be flagged, not scored.
2. Run the scorer
uv run python skills/turkish-academia/alterlab-docentlik-eligibility/scripts/score_docentlik.py \
publications.json \
--out docentlik_report.json
The input path may be - (stdin) or inline JSON.
--field saglik (default) selects the bundled table; other fields require a
supplied table file and the script refuses to invent one.
Omit --out to print the JSON report to stdout.
The script is pure stdlib — no network, no third-party deps — so it runs in a
bare uv environment and is fully reproducible offline.
3. Read the report and present it
Parse summary.verdict (FAIL_MODELLED_CHECK / PRESCREEN_PASS_VERIFY_REMAINING
— there is noELIGIBLE value) and present:
The headline status and the four computable check results
(total_points, post_doc_points, intl_scie_points, lead_q_articles)
against their thresholds (100 / 90 / 40 / 3).
A per-publication table with each item's face points, the applied share
factor, and its scaled contribution.
For every failed minimum, the exact shortfall (e.g. "82 / 100 points — 18
short" or "2 / 3 lead-author Q articles — 1 short").
The unmodelled mandatory minimums from summary.unmodelled_minimums as a
checklist the user must verify by hand — make clear the tool could not
check these and that a PRESCREEN_PASS_VERIFY_REMAINING is not an
eligibility confirmation.
Any items with an unknown index tier, flagged as unscored.
The verify-against-current-period disclaimer, always.

The only two verdict values are FAIL_MODELLED_CHECK and
PRESCREEN_PASS_VERIFY_REMAINING. There is noELIGIBLE value by design.
Self-Check Before Reporting
Did you state the field and the table's last_verified date? A Sağlık
result must not be presented as valid for another field.
Are all four modelled checks reported (total / post-doc / intl SCIE-SSCI /
lead-author Q), even the ones that pass?
Did you present the unmodelled mandatory minimums as a verify-by-hand
checklist, and make clear the tool did NOT check them?
Did you avoid calling a PRESCREEN_PASS_VERIFY_REMAINING result "eligible"?
It is not an eligibility confirmation.
Did any item have an unknown index tier? Those are unscored — say so, do
not silently drop or guess them.
Is the headline verdict consistent with the checks (any failed modelled
minimum → FAIL_MODELLED_CHECK)?
Did you include the verify-against-current-period disclaimer?
