Udon Thani

Udon Thani

Udon Thani (Thai: อุดรธานี, pronounced [ʔù.dɔ̄ːn tʰāː.nīː]) is a city in Isan (Northeast Thailand), the capital of Udon Thani Province and the sixth largest city in Thailand. The city municipality (thesaban nakhon / city proper) had a population of 130,531 people as of 2019, while Udon Thani's urban area, Mueang Udon Thani, has a population of approximately 400,000. Udon Thani is one of four major cities in Isan, the others being Nakhon Ratchasima, Ubon Ratchathani, and Khon Kaen. Together they are known as the "big four of Isan".

Location

Udon is approximately 560 km from Bangkok. It is a major official and commercial center in northern Isan, Thailand, and the gateway to Laos, northern Vietnam, and southern China.

History

The city's economy was boosted by the proximity to Udorn Royal Thai Air Force Base during the Vietnam War and retains reminders of that time in the form of bars, coffee shops, and hotels. "Udon sort of became like Pattaya when the GIs arrived," said a local architect.  "Restaurants serving Western cuisine, hotels and nightclubs sprouted up everywhere to meet their needs. It was an extremely busy city back then." 

The BBC has reported that Udon Thani's Royal Air Force Base was the site of a CIA black site, known to insiders as "Detention Site Green", used to interrogate Abu Zubaydah, Saudi-born Palestinian, believed to be one of Osama bin Laden's top lieutenants. In December 2014 the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) published an executive summary of a secret 6,000-page report on CIA techniques. The report alleges that at least eight Thai senior officials knew of the secret site. The site was closed in December 2002. 

Earlier reports alleged that a Voice of America relay station in a rural area of Udon Thani Province, Ban Dung District, was the CIA black site.

Administration

Udon Thani town municipality (thesaban mueang) with an area of 5.6 km2 (2.2 sq mi) was established on 15 March 1936.  On 27 May 1953, the area covered by the municipality was increased to 8.3 km2 (3.2 sq mi).   As a result of the town's continuing growth, the total area of the municipality was enlarged for the second time to 47.7 km2 (18.4 sq mi). on 31 December 1993.  On 25 September 1995 Udon Thani was upgraded to city municipality (thesaban nakhon),  and is divided into 21 sub-districts (tambons), which are further subdivided into 248 villages (mubans). (chumchon), 130,531 people in 60,659 households.

Transport

Udon Thani International Airport, close to the city centre (within the ring road), serves a number of domestic airports: Chiang Mai International Airport, U-Tapao International Airport (Pattaya), and Phuket, with approximately 24 daily flights to Bangkok (Don Mueang International and Suvarnabhumi Airport).   During the 2020-2021 COVID-19 pandemic flights were reduced to 10-14 daily to  Bangkok airports only.

Udon Thani railway station in the city centre receives four trains daily from Bangkok railway station (Hua Lamphong) including overnight sleepers.

Economy

Mining

 

Asia Pacific Potash Corporation (APPC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Italian-Thai Development PLC, owns the concession to the Udon North and Udon South potash mines and plans to develop them.  Potash deposits in northeast Thailand are believed to contain the world's third-largest—after Canada and Russia—unexploited potash reserves.  Potash is one of the main components of agricultural fertilizer.

Climate

Udon Thani has a tropical savanna climate (Köppen climate classification Aw). Winters are fairly dry and very warm. Temperatures rise until April, which is hot with the average daily maximum at 36.2 °C (97.2 °F). The monsoon season runs from late-April through early-October, with heavy rain and somewhat cooler temperatures during the day, although nights remain warm. The range of reliably recorded temperatures in the city is from 2.5 °C (36.5 °F) to 44.1 °C (111.4 °F).

Web of Science Journals: A Gateway to High-Quality Academic Research

The Web of Science Journals, developed by Clarivate, is a leading research database known for indexing the world’s most influential journals across various disciplines. It provides a multidisciplinary platform, covering fields like science, social sciences, arts, and humanities. Unlike general databases, WoS curates journals based on strict evaluation criteria, ensuring that the indexed content meets high academic standards.

web of science master journal list consists of several citation indices, including:

Science Citation Index (SCI)

Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI)

Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI)

Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI)

Each of these indices serves a specific purpose, facilitating researchers to access literature relevant to their area of study.

Key Features of Web of Science Journals

Strict Evaluation and Quality Control: Web of Science journals undergo a meticulous screening process. Journals are evaluated based on their publishing practices, peer-review systems, and impact. This ensures that only high-quality and ethically managed journals make it to the index.

Impact Factor (IF): One of the most recognized metrics in academia, the Impact Factor, measures the average number of citations received by a journal’s articles in a given year. Journals indexed in WoS often boast high Impact Factors, which reflect their influence in the academic community.

Citation Tracking and Metrics: WoS allows researchers to track citations and assess the impact of their work. Citation analysis tools such as the H-index provide insights into a scholar's productivity and the relevance of their research.

Multidisciplinary Coverage: With coverage extending from hard sciences to humanities, WoS is an ideal platform for scholars from various disciplines. This diversity enables collaborative and interdisciplinary research opportunities.

Open Access Journals: Web of Science also includes open access journals, which ensures that knowledge is freely accessible to the public while maintaining the same high standards for indexing.

Why Web of Science Journals Matter

Academic Recognition and Credibility: Publishing in a Web of Science-indexed journal enhances the credibility of a researcher’s work. Since these journals are recognized globally, research published in them carries more weight during academic evaluations, grant applications, and promotions.

Improves Visibility and Citations: Research published in WoS journals gains greater visibility among scholars, leading to higher citation rates. Citation counts are critical not only for individual researchers but also for institutions aiming to improve their academic rankings.

Benchmark for Research Excellence: Web of Science serves as a benchmark for quality research. Universities, research institutions, and funding agencies often prefer or require publications in WoS journals for tenure and funding decisions.

Facilitates Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses: Since WoS indexes high-quality journals across various fields, it is a go-to platform for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Researchers can trust that the literature retrieved from WoS reflects reliable and peer-reviewed studies.

Challenges in Publishing with Web of Science Journals

While publishing in WoS journals offers numerous advantages, it is not without challenges:

High Competition: Due to the prestige associated with WoS journals, they attract a large volume of submissions, making it difficult for researchers to get accepted. Rejection rates can be high, especially for top-tier journals.

Lengthy Review Process: The peer-review process in WoS journals is often rigorous and time-consuming. Authors must be prepared for multiple rounds of revisions before their work is accepted for publication.

Publication Fees: Some open access WoS journals charge article processing charges (APCs), which can be a financial burden for researchers without institutional support.

Language Barriers: As most WoS journals publish in English, non-native English speakers may face additional challenges in meeting the linguistic standards required for acceptance.

How to Identify a Web of Science Journal

To ensure a journal is indexed in the Web of Science, researchers can use Clarivate’s Master Journal List. This online tool allows users to search for journals by title, ISSN, or subject area. Additionally, authors can verify the presence of a journal in WoS before submitting their manuscripts, reducing the risk of falling prey to predatory journals.

Conclusion

Web of Science journals remain a cornerstone of academic publishing, known for their rigorous standards, multidisciplinary coverage, and global recognition. Whether you're a seasoned scholar or an early-career researcher, publishing in WoS journals can enhance your academic profile and open new avenues for collaboration. However, the process demands persistence, patience, and a commitment to high-quality research.

Web of Science Master Journal List: A Guide for Researchers

The Web of Science Master Journal List is a valuable resource for researchers, academicians, and scholars looking to publish or find high-quality academic content. Managed by Clarivate Analytics, this list comprises journals across multiple disciplines that meet specific criteria for research rigor, citation impact, and editorial excellence. In this blog, we will explore the significance of the Web of Science Master Journal List, how it can benefit researchers, and how to navigate the list effectively.

What is the Web of Science Master Journal List?

The Web of Science journal list (WoS) is a widely recognized and trusted platform that curates high-impact journals across a variety of academic fields, including science, social sciences, humanities, and technology. The Master Journal List serves as a comprehensive database, listing journals indexed within the WoS Core Collection, such as:

Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE)

Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI)

Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI)

Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI)

These indices reflect the quality and impact of journals. For example, journals in SCIE feature top-tier scientific research, while SSCI covers influential journals in social sciences.

Why is the Web of Science Master Journal List Important?

Reliable Source for Publishing Submitting research to a journal listed in the Master Journal List ensures that it will be part of a prestigious and impactful database. Journals indexed here have undergone rigorous peer review and editorial scrutiny, ensuring that only high-quality research is published.

Increased Visibility and Citations Journals included in the WoS Core Collection enjoy greater global exposure. Consequently, researchers publishing in these journals increase their chances of getting cited, which improves their academic reputation and citation metrics like the h-index.

Evaluating Journal Quality For academics, the Master Journal List is a quick way to assess the legitimacy of a journal. With the rise of predatory journals, knowing whether a publication is indexed in Web of Science helps avoid questionable publishers.

Funding and Institutional Support Many funding agencies and institutions only recognize papers published in WoS-indexed journals. Research published in these journals adds value to grant applications and tenure portfolios.

How to Use the Web of Science Master Journal List

Accessing the Platform You can explore the Web of Science Master Journal List via the Clarivate Analytics website. The tool is free to use and allows you to search by journal title, subject area, or ISSN.

Journal Search by Category If you're looking for a journal within a specific discipline (e.g., computer science or economics), you can use the category filter to narrow your search. This helps researchers find journals that align with their field of study.
