She affirmed the Journal’s commitment to accompanying and supporting young scholars and VKU’s collaborators in their journey toward international standards. This support will help improve the quality of publications and enhance the presence and reputation of Vietnamese research in general, and of VKU in particular, on the international stage.

Distinguished experts and scholars present their reports

The workshop featured presentations from respected experts and scholars, including Prof. Dr. Tran Xuan Tu (VNU-ITI), Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Thanh Binh (VKU), Dr. Bui Quoc Viet (UDN), Dr. Nguyen Huu Nhat Minh (VKU), and Dr. Tran Thien Vu (VKU). The reports focused on various practical aspects of research and scientific publication: implementation experiences in the semiconductor field, guidelines for selecting research topics and publishing in information technology, and collaborative approaches to producing high-quality publications in advanced materials. In addition, the speakers shared strategies for improving research quality and increasing citations, while also introducing the use of artificial intelligence in literature reviews within the social sciences. These insights not only provided participants with in-depth knowledge and updates on new academic trends but also offered practical experience to enhance the effectiveness of research publication. For VKU’s lecturers, researchers, and students, the presentations delivered clear directions, opportunities for broader academic collaboration, and the confidence to gradually assert their research capacity in the international academic environment.

The workshop concluded in an enthusiastic atmosphere, while at the same time opening new opportunities for research and scientific publication. It created strong motivation for lecturers, scholars, graduate students, and undergraduates to further develop their academic potential. This event also marked an important step in VKU’s strategy to strengthen connections, promote cooperation, and spread scientific and technological knowledge – thereby building a solid foundation to affirm the university’s position in both the national and international research community.
