Hence, according to the preliminary statistics, until April 2013, the university has 10 international articles in the ISI categories (Institute for Scientific Information, ISI, USA). Considering the Scopus database, the university currently has 23 research papers. This can be considered as the initial achievement in scientific research of the university.
This demonstrates that the research capacity and quality of the UEB is increasingly improved and approaching towards international standard. Along with the developing research ability, the university has had an encouraging policy, accordingly each scientific article published in international journal receives VND10-15 million. Hopefully, the number of international scientific articles would continue to increase, especially ones in the ISI categories and Scopus databases.
