45 10 Activities to promote TCI 1. Annual conference for editors (450 editors/year, free of charge) 2. Journal assessments (Every 3 years, classified in Groups 1, 2 and 3) 3. E-journal services (Thai Journal systems and Plagiarism checkers, Top priority to journals in Group 1) 4. ACI indexing (only journals Group 1 will be selected and recommended) 5. TCI-TRF-SCOPUS award (Every 2 years, immediately recommended to Scopus) 6. Partnership with Scopus (Scopus local board) 7. Academic promotion for faculty member (by Ministry of Education, only Journals in Groups 1 and 2) 8. Grant allocations (by Thailand Research Fund, Only journals in Group 1) 9. Master and PhD graduations (through Ministry of Education, only journals in Groups 1 and 2) 10. Main information for research performance assessments by TCI services (requested by many universities). 45

46 Social impacts of TCI Thailand has its own online database which contains not only bibliographic records of journal articles, but also the citations Thai articles have greater visibilities (more Thai journals indexed in ISI and Scopus, higher impact factors, more citations, authorships). More online publications of Thai journals. Based on citation records and the impact factors, some of the journals have much higher submissions, whereas some had to terminate themselves due to too low submissions. TCI organizes an annual forum for Thai editors (about 200 editors each year) to update publishing news and policies, and also to exchange ideas and experiences on how to run better scholarly journals. TCI s database supports the HEIs, and funding agencies for quality assurance evaluations, research assessment exercises, academic promotions, funding allocations. 46

47 Examples of specific impacts TCI (as of 2016) The Thailand Research Fund (One of the biggest research funding agencies) for University Rating project of research performance of institution and universities (in department level) they financially support, by using the citations from TCI for the purposes of grant allocations. The PhD Royal Golden Jubilee Program of The Thailand Research Fund has announced publicly that the research work published in the journal titles indexed in TCI (only classified in Group A) and in ACI database can be used to fulfill the funding requirement and for the PhD students to graduate. 47

48 Examples of specific impacts TCI (as of 2016) All universities (enforced by MoE in Thailand) have their policies that only Thai articles indexed in TCI are accepted for academic promotions. The office for National Education Standards and Quality Assessment (Public Organization) assesses the research performances of all Thai universities and the articles indexed by TCI Centre have more weight for quality insurance. More than 20 universities in Thailand award their researchers (in cash) who publish their works in specific international databases (ISI, Scopus and PubMed) for international articles and in the TCI database for national articles. (Ex. Thammasart, Chulalongkorn, Taksin, Mahanakorn universities). 48
