10. Summary of thesis results:

The thesis initially clarifies the current status of science and technology communication on the electronic information portals of the 3 Departments of Science and Technology of Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong and Dong Nai; evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of the 3 electronic information portals in science and technology communication activities, clarifies the causes and proposes solutions to improve the effectiveness of communication on the 3 electronic information portals.

Through survey, synthesis, analysis of public needs and analysis of information appearance on three electronic information portals and public needs, it shows that the information is highly reliable and useful for reporters, journalists and intellectuals. However, the information on the three electronic information portals is not really rich, diverse and attractive to the public. Therefore, all electronic information portals must improve the quality of content and information form to meet public needs.

With the research results achieved, the thesis contributes to supplementing and enriching modern communication theory, specifically the role, function, and effectiveness of electronic information portals; providing more theoretical and scientific basis for scientific and technological communication. Based on scientific and practical arguments, the author initially proposes ways of writing and presenting information on electronic information portals to meet the requirements and professionalism in the new period.

11. Practical application:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of science and technology communication on the electronic information portals of the Departments of Science and Technology in order to propose solutions to improve the effectiveness of science and technology communication. The groups of solutions proposed in the thesis will be the basis for contributing to the effective implementation of the Vietnam science and technology development strategy 2011-2020, in which science and technology communication and dissemination activities are one of the 6 main solutions that must be implemented.

12. Further research directions:

From the results of the thesis, it is possible to expand the research on: Science and technology communication on the electronic information portals of 63 Departments of Science and Technology nationwide, or expand the research on electronic information portals of other sectors to draw lessons on improving the communication effectiveness of electronic information portals in general.

11. Summary of the findings of the thesis:

This thesis is initially aimed at clarifying the reality status of the science and technology communications on the e-portals of the three Departments of Science and Technology of Ho Chi Minh city, Binh Duong, and Dong Nai; assess the strengths and weaknesses of the three e-portals regarding science and technology communications activities; clarifying the causes; and putting forward solutions for improving communications efficiency on these three e-portals.

The surveys, syntheses, and analyzes of the public demand and the analyzes of the information on the three e-portals and public demand show that the information is reliable and useful for the reporters, journalists, and intellectuals. However, the information on the three e-portals is not rich, diverse, and attractive enough to the public. Therefore, these three e-portals are supposed to improve the quality of content and form of information to meet the public demand.

The thesis, with its findings, will contribute to making additions to and enriching the modern communication theory, namely the roles, functions, and efficiency of the e-portals; provide further reasoning basis for science and technology communications. On the basis of scientific arguments and practicality, the author of the thesis makes initial proposals on how to write and present the information on the e-portals to meet the requirements and professionalism in a new period.

12. Practical applicability, if any:

This thesis is aimed at assessing the efficiency of the science and technology communications on the e-portals of the Departments of Science and Technology, thus putting forward solutions for improving the efficiency of science and technology communications. The groups of solutions proposed in the thesis will be the basis to contribute to effectively carrying out Vietnam's science and technology development strategy in the period of 2011-2020 in which the communications activities and dissemination of science and technology are one of the six key solutions to be implemented.

13. Further research directions, if any:

Thanks to the findings of the thesis, studies can be extended to the areas of the science and technology communications on the e-portals of 63 Departments of Science and Technology across the country or the e-portals of the other sectors with the aim of learning a lesson in improving the efficiency of the communications on the e-portals.
