Speaking at the opening of the meeting, Associate Professor Dr. Pham Quang Minh, Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, provided some information about the Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities to the delegates.

Prof. Dr. Vu Minh Giang shared at the meeting

Appreciating the efforts of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in pioneering activities, building a separate magazine for the University, Prof. Dr. Vu Minh Giang shared more about the difficult journey that the University needs to identify in the coming time.

Investing and developing a magazine is like raising a child. Whether the child grows up or not is what matters. Therefore, the School needs to have specific development directions.

According to Prof. Dr. Vu Minh Giang, the School Journal should consider quality as the top priority. In addition, it should maintain principles in its operations such as: the review process, the publishing process...

As a multidisciplinary, multi-field journal, should the School Journal build up spearheads in research, avoiding ineffective spreading? Professor, Dr. Vu Minh Giang suggested.

Professor, Dr. Vu Minh Giang proposed to calculate a maximum of 01 point for a work published in the Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities.

As someone who has participated in reviewing and writing articles for the Magazine, Professor and People's Teacher Vu Duong Ninh highly appreciated the review process which was serious, professional and rigorous.

The development of the Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities is a continuation of a process, linked to the development from the tradition of the University of General Sciences, now the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU. The journal has gone beyond the value of simply publishing in Vietnamese, aiming at the value of international publishing, which is something to be respected, and needs to be invested in, supported and strongly developed. This will contribute to overcoming the weaknesses of Vietnamese journals, promoting the promotion of Vietnamese research to the international community.

Prof. Dr. Tran Van Nhung, General Secretary of the State Council for Professors, is giving comments to the magazine.

Pointing out a reality in Vietnam, there are only 03 journals with 100% of council members having scientific publications in ISI-indexed journals, besides 10 councils with 100% of members having no one ever published in ISI-indexed journals. This partly shows that the indigenous factor of Vietnamese scientists is still relatively high, said Prof. Dr. Tran Van Nhung, General Secretary of the State Council for Professors.

Prof. Dr. Tran Van Nhung shared his joy, welcomed and supported the formation, development and international orientation of the Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities. But to achieve that, the road ahead is still very difficult, Prof. Dr. Tran Van Nhung shared: Forming a journal is difficult, but the process of nurturing and creating its influence is many times more difficult.

After some comments on the form of the journal, Professor Tran Van Nhung also expressed his support for calculating a maximum of 01 point for a work published in the Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities.
