SI 7.1 Core Health Promotion Research Activities at University Level

Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) is fully committed to advancing university volunteerism and community well-being in alignment with the Healthy University Framework. The university systematically integrates central health research management, institutional publishing support, research capacity building, and digital repository archiving into its core operational strategy across all campuses.


To operationalize this commitment across multiple dimensions, Srinakharinwirot University has successfully executed comprehensive research management and dissemination initiatives covering key university-level evidence requirements:


Research Project Management & Research Activity Reports

Centralized oversight of university-level research initiatives and capacity development is managed by the Strategic Intellectual and Research Institute in coordination with central university administration. On March 13, 2025, SWU organized the Research Capacity Building & Researcher Development Direction Workshop at the Avani Ratchada Hotel, Bangkok. Key leadership—including the Acting Vice President for Human Resources and the Director of the Strategic Intellectual and Research Institute—presented institutional guidelines for researcher development and facilitated strategic focus groups to enhance interdisciplinary research scope and funding outcomes.

University Funding & Publishing Rights Support (Read & Publish Initiative)

To lower publishing barriers and maximize international research visibility in health promotion, SWU established the SWU – Elsevier Read & Publish 2026 agreement. Effective from March 2026 onward, this university-level initiative provides full Article Processing Charge (APC) waivers for SWU personnel acting as Corresponding Authors when publishing full research articles in Scopus-indexed Hybrid Q1 journals, allocated up to 21 articles per year.

Publications, Dissemination & Scopus SDG Metrics

SWU’s university-wide research initiatives demonstrate a strong concentration in health promotion and societal well-being. Scopus institutional database metrics (out of 7,467 total SWU documents) confirm that SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being accounts for 1,361 documents, representing the university's largest research contribution. To ensure broad academic and public access, research outputs are systematically cataloged and distributed via the SWU Institutional Repository (SWU IR) and central library portal, which hosts open-access peer-reviewed journals across key health faculties (including Nursing, Physical Therapy, Physical Education, Pharmacy, and Health Sciences).

Executive Summary Prose

Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) systematically promotes and monitors core health promotion research activities at the university level in alignment with the Healthy University Framework. Centralized research governance and personnel capacity-building initiatives are spearheaded by the Strategic Intellectual and Research Institute alongside the Human Resources Division, including strategic research development workshops led by executive leadership. SWU actively supports institutional publishing impact through central funding schemes such as the "SWU – Elsevier Read & Publish 2026" agreement, which grants Article Processing Charge (APC) waivers for SWU corresponding authors publishing in top-tier (Q1) hybrid journals. This central backing is evidenced by SWU’s extensive institutional research output on Scopus, where SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being forms the single largest research focus with 1,361 indexed documents. Furthermore, SWU ensures public access to its health promotion scientific outputs through the SWU Institutional Repository (SWU IR) and open-access faculty journals spanning nursing, physical therapy, physical education, pharmacy, and health-related disciplines.
