11. Summary of the new findings of the Thesis:
a) Regarding the research approach: The thesis uses a Systems approach as its main approach (using the White Box method).
b) Theoretically: The thesis applies theories of policy analysis and systems theory to build a theoretical framework on the impact of science and technology information policy on ensuring information for research, development, and innovation; it also develops a policy impact assessment framework as a tool to identify the impacts of science and technology information policy, thereby creating a scientific basis for proposing policy improvements.
c) In practice, the dissertation presents the following results:
+ In Vietnam, there is already a science and technology information policy. However, this policy is published in many different documents, leading to a lack of uniformity and overlap. Some key contents of the policy are published in documents with low legal value, thus causing difficulties in application and implementation.
+ The impacts of the policy have not fully realized the goal of ensuring information for scientific research, technology, and innovation for organizations, individuals, and businesses because the means of implementation, the Science and Technology Information Assurance System, has an unsuitable operating philosophy. While the elements of the System have undergone changes due to the impact, the System's activities have not been directed towards disseminating information and knowledge to the entire community.
12. Practical applications (if any):
- This research contributes to establishing scientific and practical arguments for improving the legal system on ensuring the right to access information, and policies to promote science and technology information activities, thereby enhancing the capacity to ensure information services for organizations, individuals, and businesses in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the trend of digital transformation.
- The research findings of this dissertation also serve as a reference for individuals and organizations in teaching, learning, and scientific research at training institutions specializing in Science and Technology Management, Information and Library Policy in general, and Science and Technology Information Policy in particular.
13. Further research directions (if any):
- Legal issues concerning the right to access information aim to improve the legal system for scientific and technological information.
- A system for ensuring information security in science and technology in the context of digital transformation.
- Information competency framework; Information assurance competency framework; assessing information assurance competency for innovation in Vietnam.

11. Summary of the new findings of the Thesis
a) Regarding the approach in research: The thesis uses the System approach as the dominant approach (by the White Box method).
b) Theoretical: The thesis applies theories of policy analysis, systems theory, on that basis builds a theoretical basis system on the impact of Science and Technology Information Policy on information assurance. serving scientific research, technology and innovation; develop a Policy Impact Assessment Framework, as a tool to identify the impacts of S&T information policies, thereby creating scientific arguments in suggesting policy improvement.
c) In practice, the thesis gives the following results:
+ In Vietnam, there is a policy on S&T information. However, this policy is published in many different documents, leading to inconsistency, overlapping some key contents of the policy and published in documents of low legal value. making it difficult to apply and implement.
+ The impacts brought about by the policy have not fully realized the goal of ensuring information for science, technology and innovation of organizations, individuals and businesses because the means to implement is the Information Assurance System S&T has an inappropriate operating philosophy, the elements of the System have changes due to the impact, but the operation of the System has not been directed to the dissemination of information and knowledge to the entire community.
