Dataset scope, variables, chart modes, and interpretation notes
Geographic and analytical scope of the raw dataset
The academic staff data manifest brings together the source of the dataset, the institutions and variables it covers, what each chart on the page is designed to show, and the key caveats to keep in mind when interpreting the results.
Source, coverage, and key breakdowns
The data on this page is compiled from the 27 March 2026 academic staff statistics published by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK). It covers all state universities, foundation universities, and foundation vocational schools.
For each institution, the dataset stores university name, type, province, and male, female, and total counts for professors, associate professors, assistant professors, lecturers, and research assistants. The heatmap views also derive province-level totals and title-level summaries from these institution records.
Charts show staff totals within each breakdown, not simply counts of institutions. When reading female-ratio charts, the total staff size of each institution should be considered because smaller institutions can produce more volatile percentages. In the updated heatmap layout, academic titles stay fixed on the x-axis across visual modes, while rows represent universities, cities, or summary slices.
Analytical purpose of each tab and the most relevant visualizations
Used to compare total staffing, university type composition, and overall title distribution at a macro level.
Useful for examining male-female differences, female ratio, and gender balance by academic title.
Compares a selected academic title across universities and makes it easier to read alongside female-ratio patterns.
Highlights how state, foundation, and foundation vocational institutions differ in title composition.
The heatmap tab now includes university intensity, city intensity, female ratio, title-count summary, title female-ratio summary, and table mode. Academic titles remain fixed on the x-axis across visual modes; block text can be hidden, and control elements are excluded from PNG export.
The detailed table view is best for inspecting institution-level values directly with sortable columns, pagination, and PNG/CSV/Excel export.
