In this study, bibliometric analysis of graduate theses, which were researched under the general title of non-wood forest products in the National Thesis Center database of the Council of Higher Education (CoHE) was carried out based on various criteria. The criteria are: type, year, university, institute, depart-ment, gender, title of the advisors, language of writing, number of pages, number of references, keywords. For this purpose, the thesis search engine of CoHE was searched with the keywords "non-wood forest products and non-wood" in Turkish and "non-wood forest products" in English. As a result of the scan-ning process carried out on June 25 -July 5, 2023, 29 graduate theses on the subject of non-wood forest products have been identified, but one of the theses is not open access. 82% of theses within the scope of evaluation are master's thesis and 18% are doctoral thesis. The most graduate theses were completed in 2019. In total, graduate thesis on non-wood forest products was written in 11 different universities. The university that contributed the most to the subject within the scope of the study is Karadeniz Technical University. It was determined that the theses on non-wood forest products were mostly realized in the institute of science and forest engineering department. The authors of the graduate theses do not differ by gender and 90% of the advisors are male. It was determined that graduate theses were mostly completed under the advisors of professors. 43% of the theses were written in the range of 51-100 pages and approx-imately 50% of the theses benefited from 51-100 references. 89 different keywords were used in theses. Doctoral studies in this field can be increased.
