Publication outcomes and research trends in bachelor’s and master’s theses in health sciences in Croatia: retrospective cohort study and survey of mentors
Most analyzed theses were not based on original research. Results of a few theses were published in a scientific journal. Institutions should encourage mentors and students to conduct original research within theses and to publish thesis results in a journal, to further develop health sciences.
