ABSTRACT: A survey has been made on papers resulted from research on science and technology carried out in Thai state universities from 1985-1994. Four databases, SCISEARCH, MEDLINE, CHEMICAL ABSTRACTS and BIOSIS, were used. Results show that 15 state universities have an average of 550 unique articles per year. Universities that consistently contributed to the standard journals during the ten-year period are Mahidol (51%), Chulalongkorn (18%), ChiangMai (9.5%), Kasetsart (6.3%), Khon Kaen (5.9%) and Prince of Songkla (5.5%), the number of publications of each university ranges from 32 to 290 articles per year. The number of publications of most universities has increased significantly while almost no change is observed for the total number. The medical and science faculties have always been the major contributors.
