Ankara University School of Medicine, Ibn-i Sina Training and Education Hospital

What Ankara University School of Medicine, Ibn-i Sina Training and Education Hospital does

Ankara University School of Medicine, Ibn-i Sina Training and Education Hospital is a public Turkish university hospital and the institutional operator of AVESIS (Academic Data Management System), a university-wide research information platform that collects and manages academic activity data — publications, projects, awards, intellectual property, theses, and researcher profiles. AVESIS is built on a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) framework that monitors performance and productivity at personal, departmental, unit, and institutional levels using over 500 performance indicators, and integrates with the international academic infrastructure including OpenAIRE, OpenDOAR, BASE Search, Google Scholar, Sherpa/Romeo, ORCID, Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed. The platform's module set covers research group websites, an institutional open archive, scientific data sharing, researcher search, an AI research section, and a UN Sustainable Development Goal classifier.

As a public state university entity under the Turkish higher education system, the institution delivers healthcare through Turkey's public health infrastructure with reimbursement from the Ministry of Health (T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı) and the Social Security Institution (SGK), and provides medical education and residency training. Customers and end users span patients receiving specialized clinical care (including movement disorder services at the Department of Neurology, Parkinson and Movement Disorders Unit), medical students and trainees, faculty researchers, and external collaborators. AVESIS is also described as serving multiple "client universities," indicating institutional adoption beyond Ankara University itself; however, no commercial pricing model, revenue stream, or external ownership has been disclosed in the source data, and the system is developed and operated from the Ankara University instance.

Underlying technology is a custom process management platform developed in association with Abis Teknoloji, featuring real-time BSC dashboards, automated publisher-policy checks, identity management via ORCID and ResearcherID, and dynamic research-group websites indexed by major academic archives. Strategic positioning emphasizes Ankara University's top-10 research university standing in Turkey and the system's 8+ years of operational track record.
