Don’t Forget the Name of Your University/ Institution
and Remember How It Is Spelled:
Another Look at ISI Databases
M.R. Jisnuson Svastia* and Ruchareka Asavisanub
ABSTRACT: In the Editorial of the previous issue1, we stressed
the importance of universities and other organizations
obtaining updated information to form the basis of
administrative decisions, which will improve the
organization and make it more competitive. As an
example, we provided information on the publications
of different countries in the world and different
institutions in Thailand, found in Institute for Scientific
Information-Web of Science (ISI-WOS) databases for
the period 1999-2005. These databases were selected
because they are often used to evaluate research
performance, and because they can be readily searched
with suitable keywords. We did not aim to rank
universities on the basis of publications, since this would
require a more comprehensive study, including use of
other databases.
