The quantity and quality of published works continue to grow.

The most important task of the Academy is to maintain and develop basic research. In 2024, the quantity and quality of the Institute's publications will continue to grow. The Institute's scientists have published 2,200 works in prestigious domestic and foreign journals. Of the publications in international journals, more than 81% of the works are published in prestigious international journals of high quality (in the Q1, Q2 categories or IF index > 1). The ratio of international publications to the number of PhDs of the Institute has reached more than 1.8, equivalent to major research organizations in the world.

Compared to the previous period, the number of works published in prestigious, high-quality international journals has grown strongly, reaching an average of 17% annually, exceeding the target set in the Resolution of the 8th Congress of the Academy's Party Committee.

Basic investigation work continues to achieve many encouraging results, providing important information and scientific evidence to serve the work of planning, development orientation, sustainable exploitation of natural resources, environmental protection, natural disaster prevention, as well as promoting socio-economic development of many localities across the country.

Regarding applied research and technology deployment, in 2024, the Academy was granted 62 intellectual property certificates, including 4 international patents.
