Abstract

Publications from Walailak University in ISI Web of Science, SCOPUS and Thai-Journal Citation Index (TCI) databases are analyzed. From 2007 to 2014, the number of publication in the ISI database has increased from about 20 to almost 70 research articles reaching the maximum publications in both ISI and TCI databases in 2013. With the total of 489 articles found on SCOPUS, the highest number of publication per staff over 0.25 is also obtained in 2013. The largest contribution in each year belongs to School of science whereas School of allied health science and public health and School of medicine have impressive growths of international publication in recent years. The majority of the published articles are from research collaborations and international collaborations approximately accounted for one third of all international publications. Since the publications have vastly accumulated, the number of citations in the ISI database has substantially raised from 106 times in 2008 to 502 times in 2014.
