ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN LAO PDR Supervisor (s) Nikki Heherson A Dagamac, Dr.rer.nat Truong Thi Anh Tuyet, PhD Supervisor’s signature Nikki Heherson A Dagamac, Dr.rer.nat (s) Truong Thi Anh Tuyet, PhD I Abstract: Using the Scopus database, this paper investigates Lao PDR’s productivity in scientific articles from 1996 – 2020, seeks to comprehend both the total articles and environmental as a specific discipline Lao PDR has shown an increasing trend of published scientific articles with an average annual growth rate of 0.15% This is driven strongly by an international collaboration, which accounted for 96.36%, while the domestic occupied only 3.64% of total output The field of medicine and life sciences (agriculture and biology) is the most studied subject area Social science was the most active field for domestic research, while medical research appeared to be the most productive field for collaboration articles Thailand was the largest contributor in Lao’s research articles, followed by the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, and France Most of the authors contributing to Lao’s research articles were from the National University of Laos, and most influential researchers are health professions Despite the gradual increase of Lao’s scientific papers, many constraints toward the research development still remain, especially the socioeconomic such as the lack of research funding, qualified human resources, domestic research institutions, and adequate foreign language Moreover, cultural context and incentive policy is also posing a great barrier to research development Through the lens of the environment, the presence articles seem to be insufficient to contribute to effective management, particularly the evidencebased conservation, which required qualified scientific pieces of literature Moreover, the unbalanced of research field, study area and poor method may lead to the misunderstanding of the problem and lack of accurate information for II management Therefore, policymakers should continue addressing the challenges and strategizing the development mechanism regarding the productive communication of scientific findings in Laos PDR ASEAN;
