Guidelines for submitting articles to the Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities

1.Articles submitted to the Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities must not have been previously published in other books, newspapers, or journals. Submitted articles must be typed on A4 paper, using Unicode font (Times New Roman), size 13, and 1.2cm line spacing. Each submission must include one electronic copy, with a minimum of 6,000 words and a maximum of 15,000 words for research papers, or no more than 1,500 words for book reviews/scientific information articles, and one abstract (in Vietnamese and English) of no more than 250 words, including keywords (maximum 5 keywords) placed immediately after the title. In the article, proper names of people, places, and foreign terms should be used in their original form, except for those that have been Vietnamese-ized (such as China, Thailand, etc.). Footnotes should be placed at the bottom of the page and numbered sequentially, starting with 1.
2.When quoting ideas, data, or authors in an article, the source must be clearly stated. For direct quotations, the quotation should be enclosed in quotation marks, followed by a parenthetical note quoting the source. The citation process is as follows:
- If the author has a Vietnamese name or a name that has been transliterated into Vietnamese: (Author's full name, year of publication: page number); for example: (Nguyen Van Chinh 2001: 68).
- If the author has a foreign name (not from the Latin language family, transliterate it into English): (Author's last name, year of publication: page number); for example: (Durkheim 2000: 23).
- Citing sources from works by two or more authors: If the first author has a Vietnamese name: (First author's full name and co-author's name, year of publication: page number); for example: (Ly Lan et al. 1999: 5). If the first author has a foreign name (not from the Latin language family, transliterate it into English): (First author's full name and co-author's name, year of publication: page number); for example: (Dobbin et al. 2009: 30).
- If quoting the same idea from multiple different works, list each work in parentheses, separated by a semicolon; for example: (Dobbin et al. 2006: 10; Ly Lan 1999: 12).
- If the author's name is already mentioned in the main part of the sentence, simply add the year and page number of the quoted idea in parentheses; for example: This result is consistent with the research results of Ly Lan (2004: 11).
- If an author has multiple publications in the same year, the citation should add the letters a, b, c, ..., immediately after the publication year for easier differentiation. For example: (Ly Lan 2010a: 7, 2010b: 15). The documents listed in the References section at the end of the article must also have the corresponding letters added.
- In the examples above, if it is a quotation of the main idea of ​​the entire work, there is no need to include the page number, for example: (Ly Lan 1999).
