         The purpose of this study was to analyze the quality of international publications and research collaborations of Mahidol University in the SciVal database between 2018 to 2022. The samples consist of international publications classified into three subject groups of Mahidol University 1) Health Science 2) Sciences and Technology, and 3) Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts.

The highest number of citations per publication was 9.9. The highest number of research collaborations between international collaboration, national collaboration, and institutional collaboration were 4,833, 2,830, and 3,351 articles, respectively. The highest number of citations per publication in research collaborations with international collaboration and single authorship (no collaboration) were 15.8 and 5.2, respectively. The highest number of publications with academic-corporate collaboration and no academic-corporate collaboration were 305 and 10,827 articles, respectively. The highest number of citations per publication without academic-corporate collaboration was 8.8.

Additionally, publishing with international collaboration and academic-corporate collaboration increases the likelihood of publications receiving more citations. The research results can be used as guidelines to define policies that support international publications in each field of the university, thereby ensuring the research is internationally accepted and driving the university towards becoming a world-class university.
