Abstract

This research aims to 1) collect and analyze articles by Naresuan University staff that appear in the SCOPUS database between 2014-2023, classified by the authors with the highest number of works, the authors with the highest number of citations, the articles with the highest number of citations, the journals with the highest publications, and the fields of the authors with the highest publications, and 2) analyze the knowledge map using the VOSviewer program, classified by co-authors, co-occurrence, and co-cited sources, using bibliometric analysis. The results of the study found that the authors with the highest number of works analyzed by the SCOPUS Analyze Results were consistent with the data analyzed by the VOSviewer program. The most cited articles were articles in the Lancet journal that were co-authored by many institutions. The most published journal was Scientific Reports, and the field of the authors with the highest publications was Physics. The data analysis results showed the relationship between the top 10 authors, and the data presentation on the Looker Studio program can be presented as an analysis report with details and searchable through the network. It can also be used to analyze research trends, report on the potential of researchers, and be used as a decision-making tool for executives.
