In the context of higher education’s digital transformation and global integration, the Journal of Scientific Research and Development has become a dynamic force in the academic ecosystem—bridging research and practice, theory and application. Since its launch in September 2022, the Journal has published 11 issues and attracted over 40,000 visits from readers in more than 100 countries and territories, reflecting its growing international reach and credibility.

Dr. Vu Thi Thanh Minh presented a report summarizing the Journal’s achievements and outlining its future direction. Despite being a young journal, JSRD has established a professional editorial process, focusing on academic rigor and practical relevance. Its strategic development has been guided by Thanh Do University’s leadership, especially Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phan Thi Thanh Thao – President of the University and Chair of the Editorial Board.

Dr. Vu Thi Thanh Minh – Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Scientific Research and Development – presented the Journal’s annual summary report and upcoming activity plan.

Notably, JSRD is among the few scientific journals in Vietnam applying Artificial Intelligence in editorial workflows. Tools like Turnitin (for plagiarism checks), Mendeley (for reference standardization), and DOI registration via CrossRef are integrated to meet international publishing standards. The journal also implements a strict double-blind peer review process, enhancing transparency and quality assurance.

Speaking at the event, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Do Canh Thin acknowledged the Journal’s young age but emphasized its promising direction and academic integrity. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Ru also recognized the Journal’s strategic vision and its contributions to Vietnam’s research community.

• Publish bilingual articles to boost global accessibility
• Launch an official e-journal platform with open-access policies to ensure equitable and transparent dissemination of research

The event concluded with strong consensus from all participants to further strengthen coordination among editorial teams, contributors, and university departments, not only in publishing but also in organizing academic events and promoting research culture throughout the institution.

As part of Thanh Do University’s academic strategy, the Journal continues to play a pivotal role in advancing its identity as an application-oriented institution with global aspirations, where learning – practice – recognition – employability are realized through impactful scientific contributions.
