The Journal of Asian Business and Economic Studies and the Journal of Science: Advanced Materials and Devices are the Vietnamese academic publications to be in the Q1 list of top journals worldwide.

Together with scientific research, the publication on international scientific journals is being stepped up, becoming a key mission of the Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM), which is leading the nation in scientific publications, especially on prestigious international journals of two big databases Web of Science (Clarivate) and Scopus (Elsevier).

Three Vietnamese scientists have been named among the world’s 100,000 most cited scientists by monthly peer reviewed scientific journal PLOS Biology.

Vietnam has had a remarkably high number of post-graduates in the recent years. However, scientific research projects, which are considered the soul of universities in their quest to produce new knowledge for the world, have remained modest in both quality and quantity.
