Additionally, the DLU-JOS fulfills the criteria outlined in Decision No. 251/QĐ-HĐQL-NAFOSTED, dated December 11, 2019, by the National Foundation for Science and Technology Development (NAFOSTED) of the Ministry of Science and Technology to become one of very few leading national journals in both literature and history-archaeology-ethnology. It should be noted that the NAFOSTED has previously recognized the DLU-JOS as one of eighth prestigious national journals in physics (since 2019) and one of thirteenth prestigious national journals in economics (since 2023), solidifying its reputation for excellence across various disciplines.
Standing out among Vietnam’s vibrant scholarly landscape is a significant achievement. With over 600 academic journals across various disciplines (according to the Vietnamese State Council for Professorship), the DLU-JOS has earned recognition as one of the select few prestigious national journals, marking a major milestone in the journal’s development process.
Let’s celebrate a momentous achievement for the DLU-JOS in its remarkable 40th anniversary year (1984–2024)!
