11. Summary of thesis results:
1. Overview of concepts related to the research content of the Thesis such as: social sciences and humanities, system of S&T statistical indicators, input statistical indicators, output statistical indicators, S&T assessment. In addition, the author also clarifies the basic characteristics of R&D organizations in the field of social sciences and humanities in universities and analyzes the role of input and output statistical indicators in assessing the activities of R&D organizations in the field of social sciences and humanities in universities.
2. Through analysisCurrent status of input and output statistical indicators used for performance assessment of R&D organizations in the field of social sciences and humanities in universities in Vietnam and some countries in the world, the author finds that, at present, there are no official regulations on input and output S&T statistical indicators specifically serving the evaluation of the activities of R&D organizations in the field of social sciences and humanities in universities. The statistical indicators stipulated in legal documents are only general S&T statistical indicators, and have not been specified for each research field or each group of S&T activities. Therefore, when applying S&T statistical indicators to investigate and collect information on the performance of R&D organizations in general and R&D organizations in the field of social sciences and humanities in particular, they are not accurate and do not fully reflect the effectiveness of the organization's activities, thereby causing difficulties for the evaluation work.
3. Through the study of theoretical and practical bases, the author proposes a system of input and output statistical indicators to serve the evaluation of the activities of R&D organizations in the field of social sciences and humanities in universities in Vietnam. Input statistical indicators include: Group of indicators on strategy and strategic management of the organization (including 7 indicators); Group of indicators on human resources (including 10 indicators); Group of financial statistical indicators (including 15 indicators); Group of indicators on infrastructure (including 13 indicators). Output statistical indicators include: Group of indicators on capacity and results of scientific research (including 10 indicators); Group of indicators on services (including 6 indicators); Group of indicators on domestic and international cooperation (including 8 indicators); Group of indicators on education and training (including 3 indicators); Other results (including 3 indicators).
12. Practical application
The research results of the Thesis have high practical applicability. With the input and output statistical indicators proposed in the Thesis, R&D organizations in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities in universities in Vietnam conduct periodic assessment of the organization's S&T activities once a year toidentify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challengeshuhyour organization, its role and position in the communityOhnational and international science and technology, thereby self-improving management stages in the organization, improving the efficiency of science and technology activities.
13. Further research directions
From the results of this study, further studies were conducted: developing evaluation indicators, weighted scores for each indicator, and guiding organizations to self-assess and draw conclusions based on the scores from answering the indicators according to the corresponding weights.

11. Summary of the findings of the thesis:
1. The author has overviewed the theoretical basis of the field of social sciences and humanities, the system of S&T statistical indicators, input indicators, output indicators, S&T evaluation. In addition, the author has also clarified the basic characteristics of the R&D organization in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities in the university and analyzed the role of input and output indicators to the evaluation of activities of the R&D organization in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities in the university.
2. Through analyzing the current status of input and output indicators to evaluate the activities of the R&D organization in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities in university in Vietnam and in the world, the author found that there was no official regulation of input and output indicators to evaluate the activities of the R&D organization in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities in university. The statistical indicators stipulated in the official regulation were only the general S&T statistical indicators were not specified for each research fields, each research objectives of S&T activity. Therefore, the application of the S&T statistical indicators to make survey and collect information about the performance of the R&D organization in general and the R&D organization in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities in particular is not accurate and adequately reflected the performance of the R&D organization which makes difficult to evaluate the situation.
3. Through researching the theoretical basis and the practical basis, the author proposed the statistical system of input and output indicators to evaluate the activities of the R&D organization in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities in the university. Input indicators include: indicators of strategy and strategic management of the organization (including 7 sub-indicators); indicators of human resources (including 10 sub-indicators); finance indicators (15 sub-indicators); indicators of the infrastructure (including 13 sub-indicators). Output indicators include: indicators of scientific research capacity and results (including 10 sub-indicators); service indicators (including 6 sub-indicators); indicators of national and international cooperation (including 8 sub-indicators); indicators of education and training (including 3 sub-indicators); Other results (including 3 sub-indicators).
12. Practical applicability:
The research result of the master thesis is capable of practical application. With the input and output indicators proposed in this thesis, the R&D organizations in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities in university performance evaluation per year to identify their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges and the role and the position of their organizations in the national and international S&T community so that they improve themselves the efficiency of S&T activity.
13. Further research directions:
We can conduct further research from this research result, such as: Building evaluation indicators, giving score for each indicator, guiding self-evaluation for institutions and concluding the performance of S&T activity based on the total score.
