Preprint archives give you the newest work but it has not been refereed, and the two should not be conflated. Turkish academic material is scattered, so harvesters like DergiPark and Harman save real time against searching institution by institution.

The official portal of the US Antarctic research programme, with material on field logistics and station operations. Unlike general science news, it details how systems are operated in extreme conditions.
Turkish science and philosophy writing. Unlike popular-science sites it does not stay shallow, and unlike academic papers it is not written in an opaque register.
A list of open-source technology and tools for farming and gardening. Unlike commercial agriculture software, it gathers only open-source options — sensors, irrigation, farm management, data.
A list of tools and resources for analysing biological data (bioinformatics). Unlike general data-science lists, it focuses on biology-specific tools such as sequence alignment and variant calling.
A list for community-based, non-institutional science (citizen science). Unlike academic science resources, it gathers projects, tools and hardware open to people outside institutions.
A list of projects and resources fighting climate change with technology. Unlike general sustainability writing, it focuses on open-source projects and areas where developers can contribute.
A list of resources for computational approaches to biology problems. Unlike tool-heavy bioinformatics lists, it pairs courses, books and methods with the tools.
A list of open-source healthcare software for facilities. Unlike commercial health software, it gathers open-source options — electronic health records, imaging, standards such as HL7/FHIR.
A list of information-retrieval resources for learning to build your own search engine. Unlike the docs of ready engines such as Elasticsearch, it teaches the theory underneath — indexing, ranking, evaluation.
A list of packages, templates and tools for LaTeX, the scientific typesetting language. Unlike Overleaf’s docs, it gathers editors, packages and templates without tying them to one service.
A list of imaging software for analysing brain data from living subjects. Unlike general image-processing lists, it focuses on software specific to brain data such as MRI and fMRI.
A list of computational resources for studying the nervous system and brain. Unlike the neuroimaging list, it focuses on computational modelling, data sources and courses rather than imaging.
A resource list for Quarto, the scientific and technical open-source publishing system. Unlike R Markdown it is language-agnostic: you write the same document with Python, R, Julia or Observable.
A list of tools and libraries for solving complex scientific problems by computer. Unlike data-science lists, it focuses on numerical methods — finite elements, linear algebra, differential-equation solvers.
A list for the interplay of computer science and pure mathematics (theoretical CS). Unlike practical programming lists, it covers theoretical fields such as complexity theory, algorithm analysis and logic.
A brief intro to LaTeX for beginners, in minutes. Unlike Overleaf’s long guides it is a one-page quick start: document structure, maths, tables and bibliography basics. The repository is archived (last update November 2020); LaTeX basics have not changed, so it still reads fine.
National botanical database listing the scientific taxonomy, endemism status, and distribution maps of vascular plants in the Flora of Turkey; grounded in peer-reviewed botany rather than gardening guides.
Oral history interviews with the pioneers of computing, plus a lecture archive. Unlike technical channels it records the circumstances a decision was made in — the context no document holds.
A tool that starts from one paper and builds a visual graph of related work. Unlike a citation list it draws a “map” of a field and shows neighbouring work.
A high-resolution historical map archive. Unlike plain scanned collections, it lets you georeference maps onto modern geography — a strong tool for tracking place-name and border change.
Turkey’s official archive institution and the gateway to catalogues and digital copies of Ottoman and Republican-era documents. Unlike secondary sources, it takes you to the original document.
A Turkish compilation of famous thought experiments in philosophy of mind — the Chinese Room, zombies, Mary’s room. Unlike English encyclopaedia entries it is in Turkish and gathered in one piece — the philosophical backdrop to AI arguments.
Visualisation of global wind, ocean-current and air-pollution forecasts on a live globe. Unlike weather apps, it shows surface and atmosphere layers at planetary scale rather than a local forecast.
The standard catalogue of world languages with systematic speaker counts and vitality ratings, and the registration authority for ISO 639-3 codes. Unlike Wikipedia it offers systematic data; detailed access is paid.
An etymological dictionary of Turkish citing its sources, built on Nişanyan’s work. Unlike the TDK dictionary it gives origin rather than meaning: which language a word came from, when, and its earliest attestation.
Share nature observations and get species identified. Unlike species-ID apps it has community verification: confirmed records become research-grade and flow into GBIF — a rare case of a hobby producing real data.
Istanbul University’s scanned historical newspaper collection. Unlike secondary literature it is a primary source, where the details that literature skips turn up.
A learning platform mapping topics and their connections. Unlike a linear curriculum, it makes the adjacencies between topics visible.
A historical inventory of settlement names in and around Turkey. Unlike official place-name lists, it documents former names and every change with date and source — nothing else compiles this systematically.
Searches language resources across scattered institutional archives from one place. Instead of trawling archives one by one, you find material — especially on under-documented and endangered languages — in one search.
A community uniting language resource archives under a shared metadata standard. Unlike the search page this is the infrastructure side — the standard and participant list that make scattered university collections searchable.
An open catalogue of scholarly works, authors, institutions and journals; all the data is CC0 and queryable through a free API. Unlike Semantic Scholar the data can be reused without restriction; it was set up to replace the Microsoft Academic Graph when that shut down.
Oxford University Press’s journal platform, one of the major publisher archives. Compared with open-access archives most content is behind subscription, with open-access articles separately marked.
The University of Colorado’s interactive simulations for physics, chemistry and maths. Unlike a lecture it lets you experience a concept by tweaking its parameters by hand.
An AI-powered academic search engine. Unlike Google Scholar it summarises a paper, distinguishes influential citations and extracts links semantically.
The official table of unit prefixes, including recent additions like ronna and quetta. Unlike encyclopaedia tables it is the official source — the authority for unit conversion.
Official reference server by the Turkish Ministry of Health publishing standardized ICD-10 diagnosis, drug, and clinical codes; provides the canonical terminology tables required for healthcare software interoperability in Turkey.
Shows the real sky for your location in the browser, with time you can wind forward to see planetary positions. Unlike desktop Stellarium it needs no installation.
A text-recognition model trained on printed Ottoman Turkish. Unlike general OCR tools it can read Arabic-script Turkish — a gap that is critical in archive research.
Turkey’s government scholarship programme for international students at bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral level; coverage, programmes and the application calendar live here. Unlike a single university’s scholarship it bundles tuition, a monthly stipend, accommodation and a year of Turkish language study in one application.
An index of Wikipedia’s topic portals — a structured way into a field instead of random search, and a way not to enter a new subject without a map.
Explores Wikipedia’s link network as a graph. Unlike reading article by article, you see conceptual distance without entering the text, which sketches a field’s structure quickly.
An archive of freely usable images and media. Unlike stock-photo sites the licence is stated explicitly on every file, which removes the legal ambiguity when sourcing visuals for a talk or publication.
A computational knowledge engine that integrates, converts units and compares data. Unlike a search engine it computes the answer rather than finding it, showing the working step by step in the paid tier.
Placement data for Turkish undergraduate and associate programmes: base scores and ranks, quotas, which provinces and high schools students come from, the academic staff. Unlike prep-school ranking lists it is official, programme-level data built on ÖSYM placements.
Statistics from the Council of Higher Education’s information system: student and academic-staff counts by university, faculty and programme. Unlike YÖK Atlas it is not admissions data but headcount tables across the whole system.
An open-source reference manager: its browser connector saves the citation and PDF from an article page in one click, and the Word and LibreOffice plugins format citations and bibliographies in thousands of styles. Unlike publisher-owned managers such as Mendeley it is developed by a non-profit; only cloud storage beyond a small quota is paid.
