Abstract

This study maps the academic structure of Management Information Systems (MIS) in Türkiye using cleaned YÖK Academic profile data compiled in April 2026. The dataset covers academics and universities in Türkiye and identifies 705 academics whose current department is MIS across 94 universities, 42 cities, and seven regions. Descriptive statistics are combined with a conservative co-authorship analysis based only on YÖK-resolved profile records for publications, books, and proceedings. Results show concentration in Marmara and Central Anatolia, a rank profile led by assistant professors and research assistants, and institutional placement mainly in economics-administrative sciences, business, and applied sciences faculties. Co-authorship is most frequent with business, computer engineering, industrial engineering, education, economics, and software engineering. Because YÖK Academic profiles are dynamic and self-updated, the findings should be read as an April 2026 descriptive baseline.
