Is Is research in social sciences in Vietnam lagging behind?""
"Is research in social sciences in Vietnam lagging behind?" is the big question that Prof. Vuong Quan Hoang from NVSSH, a network of researchers in social sciences and humanities under Phenikka University, and his co-workers conducted a survey to find why this had occurred.
They spent two years collecting materials from prestigious international scientific publications recognized by NAFOSTED (National Foundation for Science and Technology Development). These include Scopus articles and other publications.
Hoang found that the number of authors who have articles internationally published for the first time in the last five years has increased very rapidly.
When analyzing the numbers of articles, Hoang found that Hanoi, HCMC and Da Nang made the greatest contribution to the development of social sciences in the last 11 years.
Hanoi National University, with 241 published articles, ranks first in the list of organizations with the highest number of publications. The second position belongs to National Economics University (127) and Hanoi Medical University (101).
