According to the international academic journal PLOS BIOLOGY, the article is published by Stanford University, the world’s leading university in the United States. Titled “Updated science-wide author databases of standardized citation indicators”, which reveals a list of scientists with the highest number of published and referenced works. Top 2% of the world (World’s Top 2% Scientists by Stanford University) 2021 in more than 100,000 disciplines from 22 major 176 sub-disciplines. As a result, there are 35 researchers at Khon Kaen University with the highest number of publications and references in the world.
Professor Dr. Monchai Duangjinda, Vice President Research and Graduate Studies, Khon Kaen University inform about the importance of ranking and supports Khon Kaen University’s policy of encouraging scientists and researchers to continue create work. Rankings and awards are very important which reflects the university’s ability the qualified researchers and universities have qualified researchers who can produce their academic useful work. This ranking will appear to the global Funding Agency (funding agencies) at the international level which increases the chances of collaborating with foreign sources or other prestigious universities.
The Research Administration Division is important role in stimulating researchers, professors and students in the system. Assoc. Prof. Charnchai Panthongviriyakul, M.D., President has a policy that in addition to being able to publish. That work must be conveyed to the community and used for social purposes, or it can be innovated for commercial use or for further public use, also known as Beyond Publication, by creating a system called The Ecosystem of Researcher Development, in which we have new researchers to incubator in systems for mentoring systems for researchers to work happily, including teaching.
And then, asking for an academic position to become an assistant professor, an associate professor, will be classified as a middle-class researcher. We will also have an ecosystem set up as a Research Program for doctoral or post-doctoral researchers. Once working, a certain level goes to senior researchers and enters various awards such as silver researchers, gold levels, diamond levels. Researchers honor Sarasin and various levels until reaching the Top 2 % Scientists, which is a recognition of researchers who work continuously, The Research Administration Division Department systematically supervises researchers and seeks to create a connected ecosystem. It is transmitted and introduced into the system of education as if it were an incubation from the bachelor’s degree to the researcher stage.
