Dear  Ken

I think  I am struggling to explain the problem !

EU  describes  outlines not  criteria of course. We comment  this  
outline  in our condition and we describe the criteria according to  
the outline.  Therefore  Bologna  Process says -dissemination-.  We   
comment this as -publication-.  For  Publication,  some  schools like   
me  looks quality.

So  Turkish Authority follows this statement and recommends  All   
Schools to ask the candidate to provide  a publication to complete   
PhD degree. As a quality level, Only My Program in Yildiz  Technical  
University and Bilkent University in Ankara, requires min.  1 article  
published in Citation Journal to complete PhD in Design.  A  number of  
High  Quality  PhD in Design  programs at USA University also   
requires  this criteria. (I do not advertise them again here)

My earliest   question was  Which European Schools require  the  same  
rules?

Nobody answered it in a year time. Therefore  I asked everybody  how  
to improve PhD publication in ISI Indices Level. Creating  networks  
for establishing citation indexed journals and accreditations etc.

Again nobody answered this requirement or  write  something else or  I  
can not explain the problem well in lack of English.  I am getting  
hopeless in EU level anyway !

Otherwise, I did not mean this tricky calculation you mentioned.

With my  best

Oguzhan.
