The Thai-Journal Citation Index Centre, or TCI, was first introduced publicly via a research project, financially supported by King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT). | The project, entitled "Assessment of Citation Impact Factor Indexes for Thai Academic Journals", was written by Professor Narongrit Sombatsompop, the founder of the TCI, and his colleagues who gathered the publication and citation data of articles published by Thai journals, and also calculated the Journal Impact Factor (JIF) value of 68 Thai academic journals. The results found that the quality of most of the Thai journals and their articles needed to be improved to meet the international standard. |

Establishment of the Thai-Journal Citation Index (TCI) Center which has been financially supported by the Thailand Research Fund (TRF) and King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT). | The initial aims of setting up the database were for storing and searching publications and citations in Thai academic journals, and for reporting the journal quality index of Thai academic journals on a yearly basis. Most of the indexed journals focussed at the time were on science and technology areas.
