Abstract
This study aims to determine the methodological trends of postgraduate theses on gifted education published in Turkey's department of science education. In the study, the theses accessible till 2015 (1 January) and 2022 (1 October) at the National Thesis Center of YOK (Higher Education Institution) were examined. In the analysis, 56 postgraduate studies were included. We conducted the research according to the document analysis. The investigated theses were categorized by year, type, technique and design, institution, sampling method, analytic method, and data collection instrument. The "Methodical Disposition Analysis Form" created by the researchers was utilized as a data collection instrument within the scope of the study. The form data was evaluated using descriptive statistical methods and presented in frequency tables. According to the research findings, most researchers are master's theses, and most publications were made in 2019. Inonu University has the highest number of postgraduate studies in science education. While the qualitative method is preferred in almost half of the studies, the most preferred pattern is a case study. The easily accessible sampling method was determined as the most used sampling method. While the content analysis was the most used, interviews were the most preferred data collection tool in the analysis method.

Open access to the results of publicly funded research is of huge value, offering significant social and economic benefits. The open access publishing model, defined by the Berlin Agreement in 2003, improves the pace, efficiency, and value of research to society. By its very nature, it improves the visibility of authors' work and enables better scholarly exchange, and therefore, the potential impact of that work.
By eliminating the barriers that block the free distribution of knowledge, open access enables scientists to collaborate better, innovate faster, and deliver the solutions we need for healthy lives on a healthy planet.
