Scientometric mapping of Thai veterinary research networks.
I study how Thai veterinary research is structured — which topics cluster together, which researchers bridge clusters, where research and teaching align (or don't). This page collects ongoing analysis from a first-author paper in preparation (target ladder: TJVM → Aslib Journal of Information Management → Scientometrics).
Pages below are working pre-prints — analysis is preliminary, citation-friendly, and openly evolving. Faculty or centers wishing to provide corrections, context, or removal: palm@anuthindanoi.com.
Cluster maturity analysis
13 research clusters mapped at Chula Vet against a 6-marker maturity rubric (PRRSV-template benchmark); 5 are detailed below.
-
PRRSV — Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus
Pre-print analysis of the PRRSV (Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus) research cluster at Chulalongkorn University Faculty of Veterinary Science. Used as the maturity-template benchmark for assessing other Thai vet research clusters.
Maturity 6/6 / mature
-
CU-ARM — Antimicrobial Resistance — One Health (Center for Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring in Foodborne Pathogens)
Pre-print analysis of the CU-ARM (Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring) research cluster at Chulalongkorn University. Scores 6/6 on the maturity rubric — Thailand's second fully-mature vet research cluster after PRRSV. Predicted to overtake PRRSV in publication output by 2030.
Maturity 6/6 / mature-emerging
-
CE-FID — Center of Excellence in Fish Infectious Diseases (Aquatic Animal Health)
Pre-print analysis of the Center of Excellence in Fish Infectious Diseases (CE-FID) research cluster at Chulalongkorn University. Scores 5.5/6 on the maturity rubric — a sleeper candidate that may benefit from climate change attention to aquatic disease and One Health framework expansion.
Maturity 5.5/6 / mature-emerging
-
Wildlife ART — Wildlife Conservation Assisted Reproductive Technology
Pre-print analysis of the Wildlife Conservation Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) cluster at Chulalongkorn University, bridging the Center of Excellence in Animal Fertility (CU-AF) with the Zoological Park Organization of Thailand. Predicted niche-but-influential trajectory by 2030.
Maturity 5/6 / emerging
-
CAC-RU — Companion Animal Cancer Research Unit
Pre-print analysis of the Companion Animal Cancer Research Unit (CAC-RU) cluster at Chulalongkorn University. A methodologically-convergent emerging cluster combining traditional pathology-IHC with proteomics-driven molecular oncology. Predicted to mature into a PRRSV-tier cluster if Surgery + Medicine integration develops.
Maturity 5/6 / emerging-medium
Methodology
Analytical frameworks used in the cluster analysis above.
-
Co-Authorship Network Analysis for Veterinary Research Clusters — Methodology
Methodology for combining manual ground-truth cluster definitions with Scopus-derived co-authorship network analysis (Louvain community detection). Approach combines qualitative depth with quantitative validation, with pre-registered predictions tested against algorithmic clustering.
-
6-Marker Cluster Maturity Rubric — Methodology
Original analytical framework for scoring veterinary research cluster maturity. Six markers (multi-PI, ≥10-year trajectory, named center, industry bridge, senior+junior generations, multi-modal methods) derived from observation that PRRSV at Chula Vet is the regional benchmark for sustained vet research enterprise.
About this analysis
Original analysis by Anuthin "Palm" Danoi, a fourth-year veterinary student at the Faculty of Veterinary Science, Chulalongkorn University (Vet 86 cohort). Faculty research areas, publication histories, and center affiliations are sourced from publicly available profiles (chula.ac.th, Scopus, ResearchGate, PubMed). Cluster definitions, maturity scoring, and bridge-researcher predictions are independent analytical contributions of this study.
Status — pre-print working draft. Specific findings (cluster boundaries, maturity scores, predicted bridges) are testable hypotheses pending validation against forthcoming Scopus extraction.
