STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that Scopus, its abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature, in joint partnership with the Thailand Research Fund (TRF) and Commission on Higher Education (CHE) Thailand, will present the TRF-CHE Researcher Awards. The Awards recognise outstanding and exemplary new researchers and mid-career researchers who have received grants from TRF and CHE.
Recognising the critical importance of using clear and transparent indicators to evaluate outstanding research performance, Scopus citation data and Scopus H-index were used to provide the measurement of the applicants’ research performance, thereby determining their influence in the discipline.
The TRF-CHE Researcher Awards will be given out on two levels – Distinguished Researcher Award for recipients of mid-career researcher grants co-funded by TRF and CHE, and Distinguished Young Researcher Award for recipients of the New Researcher Grants that are co-funded by TRF and CHE or TRF alone. They will be presented in six major categories - Life Science, Health Sciences, Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Physical Sciences, Engineering and Multidisciplinary Technology and Humanities and Social Sciences. The awards will be given out at the 2009 TRF-CHE Annual Congress on October 15, 2009.
