Thesis: "Building criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of scientific information activities at the Military Medical Academy".

The thesis consists of 3 chapters.

Chapter I:Theoretical basis for criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of scientific research activities at the Military Medical Academy.

This chapter has clarified some basic concepts: Concept of Scientific Information, Concept of Criteria, Evaluation, Evaluation Indicators; Efficiency. It has given: objectives; principles and methods for building criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of scientific information.

Chapter II:Current status of evaluating the effectiveness of scientific research activities at the Military Medical Academy.

Chapter II surveyed the current status of organization and management of TTKH activities; Current status of collaboration in evaluating TTKH activities. The study pointed out the limitations of evaluation work and the causes of these limitations.

Chapter III:Building criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of scientific research activities at the Military Medical Academy.

Based on theory and practice, a set of criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of TTKH activities has been developed, including:

- Technical efficiency criteria

- Economic efficiency criteria

- Social Efficiency

- Sustainability criteria

The four criteria established in this thesis ensure novelty in scientific research. Through document research and reference to previous scientific works, it is shown that no scientific work has researched on the development of criteria for evaluating scientific research activities. This set of criteria is the basis for managers and those working in scientific research to evaluate scientific research activities to ensure scientific and objective nature. From there, it helps to orient the planning for the development of scientific research activities at the Military Medical Academy in particular and scientific research activities in general.

11. Practical application:

Criteria used in evaluating TTKH activities

12. Further research directions: (if any)

11. Summary of the findings of the thesis:

The good enough summary on concept of scientific information, scientific information activity, of criteria and criteria for effectiveness estimation was made by the author Tran Thi Mai in the first chapter.

In the second chapter, Ms. Mai has prepared an overview on the scientific information activities at Military Medical Academy for the period of the last ten years. As conclusion of chapter, the author has come to the shortages in methodology for effectiveness estimation on scientific information activity. Among those shortages, there is the problem of criteria setting for estimation.

Four criteria groups were proposed for application for effectiveness estimation on scientific information activity at the Military Medical Academy for the near future.
