Özet: Bibliometrics is defined as the application of mathematical and statistical methods to books and other communication environments (Pritchard 1969: 348). In this context, the findings obtained by bibliometric researches of scientific publications contribute to the determination of the present situation of a field of science and it can also provide an insight about its progress. The aim of this research is to carry out a bibliographic analysis of public relations articles written by female authors in the journals published by Communication faculties in Turkey. In the research, in order to reveal the profile of the academic articles written by the female authors in the field of public relations in Turkey, the faculty journals compliant with the determined criteria in the field of communication were handled.In this context, the first 10 years of the first communication faculties, which were transformed from the School of Press and Broadcasting to Communication Faculties in 1992, and in which the Public Relations Departments were established in 1993 were included in the study with their academic journals in ULAKBİM, which were accessible online. It was observed that 4 journals were suitable according to the mentioned criteria and the research was carried out in this scope. In this context, all the articles since the initial publication dates of the four faculty magazines were scanned and 275 articles in the field of Public Relations were identified out of 2.586 articles. Of these articles, 140 were identified as single female author articles and coded by two authors and subjected to bibliometric analysis.
