This content analysis aims to examine the basketball theses and dissertations in Türkiye to reveal their methodological trends. In the literature review conducted in the Turkish Council of Higher Education thesis center database with the word "basketball", 793 documents were reached between 1982 and 2020. Using the criterion sampling technique, 673 documents were examined, including 554 theses and 119 dissertations. An increasing knowledge production trend was found in the number of theses and dissertations over the years. Male authors were dominant in the production. While the quantitative research methods (especially causal comparison, quasi-experimental, correlational, and survey methods) predominate than other research methods; athlete and student samples were the most studied groups in all methods. The results show that the number of both basketball theses and dissertations has grown rapidly and basketball theses and dissertations in Türkiye are produced with a greater variety of research samples in many research approaches.
