Abstract
The
purpose of this study aims to analyze the situation of international
publications of Higher Education Institutions in the Global & Frontier
Research Group according to the announcement of the Ministry of Higher
Education, Science, Research and Innovation 2023. The analysis covers 17
institutions using the SciVal database between 2019-2023, encompassing a total
of 110,248 articles. The study found that Mahidol University had the highest
number of published articles, totaling 20,245. It also had the highest number
of citations, with 175,691. The university published the most articles in
Quartile 1 journals, with 9,835 articles. Additionally, it had the highest
number of internationally collaborative publications, with 9,420 articles, and
the highest number of citations from international collaborations, with
126,181. The higher education institution with the highest number of citations per
article is Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology, with 11.9
citations per article. The institution with the highest Field-Weighted Citation
Impact is Mae Fah Luang University, with an impact factor of 1.32. The
institution with the highest number of citations per article for
internationally collaborative work is Naresuan University, with 16.5 citations
per article. In conclusion, the research findings indicate that Higher
Education Institutions in the Global & Frontier Research group's international
publications have steadily increased over the last five years. Therefore, the
results of this study can serve as a for higher education institutions to
access information to compare their performance with peer institutions in the
same group. This will help in strategically focusing on areas that align with
the institution's potential.
Research Objectives

📚📝Theory and Related Literature Reviews
1.
University
Rankings
Rankings such as Times Higher Education (THE), QS World University
Rankings, and Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU)
emphasize research capabilities more than teaching quality (Pimpae, 2020).
2.
Research
Performance Indicators
Citations and international collaborations are key indicators that reflect the
quality of higher education institutions (Bornmann, 2017).
3.
Impact of
Publishing in High-Quality Journals
Research articles published in high-quality journals (Quartile 1) tend to
receive more citations, serving as a qualitative indicator of institutional
research output (Mathew & Cherukodan, 2018).
