The main research method to carry out the book seriesEthnic groups in Vietnamis ethnographic fieldwork and desk study.
In this book series, the Kinh (Viet) ethnic group is introduced for the first time in a general way, so it is mentioned relatively comprehensively, not following the general compilation structure. For other ethnic groups, the compilation has three basic contents: (1) Overview of the research situation; (2) Presentation and analysis of the development and changes in socio-economy since 1986 to present; (3) Some issues raised in the research and development of that ethnic group. To help readers easily grasp the common issues in the ethnic groups of Vietnam from 1986 to present, in addition to the "Introduction" of each volume or each book, in Volume 1 there is an article "General discussion of ethnic research and some ethnic issues in Vietnam from 1986 to present" (67 pages); and in Volume 2 of Volume 4 there is an article (replacing the Conclusion of the book series) "On the issue of ethnic groups and the national-ethnic community in Vietnam from 1986 to present" (255 pages), written by the Editor-in-Chief.

In addition, there are 61 photo authors, including 35 authors from outside the Institute of Ethnology; and 2 authors who built the ethnic distribution map of the language groups. The research, compilation, and publication of the book seriesEthnic groups in VietnamIt is also combined with training, by linking this task with master's and doctoral training; inheriting the research results of a number of theses and dissertations. The financial source for research and compilation is the basic-level project budget for the years 2013-2015, the scientific activity budget and the budget for organizing the Ethnology Announcement Conference, mainly from 2012-2015 of the Institute of Ethnology. For publication, the National Political Publishing House has developed a project for the book series in the list of publications ordered by the State and has 32 staff members participating in editing the content.
Book seriesEthnic groups in Vietnamnot only marks an important scientific event of the Institute of Ethnology, but also of the Vietnamese Ethnology/Anthropology sector. This is a book series of basic research, serving many readers. It can be said that this book series has three main values, which are information value, synthesis value and summary value. However, due to resource difficulties, the book series also has certain limitations: some ethnic groups have been studied in the field and some ethnic groups have only been studied in documents; with compilations based on document research, some ethnic groups have been studied a lot and some have been studied less. The compilation capacity of the authors is also not uniform. Therefore, the quality of compilation for each ethnic group is also not the same.
As the scientific organizer and editor of the book series, Associate Professor, Dr. Vuong Xuan Tinh will present the research, compilation, and publication of this book series so that colleagues and readers will know the implementation process; the difficulties and challenges that must be overcome; the contributions of the book series; and the limitations due to the conditions and context of implementation so that subsequent works will supplement and overcome them.
