[Research Contribution] China’s Experience in Developing Scientific Journals and Implications for Vietnam

Over the past two decades, China has emerged as a formidable force in innovation and scientific knowledge production. The Global Innovation Index (GII) Report 2025 ranked China 10th in the world, making it the only middle-income economy within the top 30 leading nations. Recently, as noted in a statistical report on the scientific publishing market in China, the 20 largest international publishers by output published 83% of all research articles involving China-based authors from 2012 to 2021. Drawing from research by an author at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), this article analyzes the policies and current landscape of scientific journal development in China, thereby offering a number of implications for Vietnam in building and advancing scientific journals in the period ahead.
