Another Vietnamese journal joins the world's prestigious scientific index system

On April 24, the University of Transport Technology held a ceremony to announce that the school's Journal of Science and Transport Technology (JSTT) was officially accepted into the Scopus database - one of the world's largest and most prestigious scientific indexing systems.

By joining Scopus, JSTT becomes the 15th Vietnamese journal to be included in the Scopus, SCIE and ESCI index systems, accounting for less than 2.5% of the total of more than 600 domestic scientific journals. Notably, JSTT is the only journal in Vietnam to date to be accepted by Scopus after only 3 years of establishment.

JSTT is one of the very few Vietnamese journals with an internationally recognized university publisher, developed entirely based on academic strength, rigorous peer review process and clear internationalization strategy.

University of Transport Technology received certificate of JSTT journal joining Scoupus directory.

First issue released in December 2021, JSTT has published 11 issues in the period 2021-2024. The journal currently has an SJR index of 0.158 on the Scimago Journal Rank system - one of the world's prestigious scientific journal ranking systems - in the fields of civil engineering, transport infrastructure engineering, mechanics of materials and applied technology.

JSTT's editorial board brings together leading scientists from many countries with developed science such as the United States, France, China, Japan, Norway, etc., contributing to ensuring the professional quality and international reputation of each published article.

For students, especially those studying engineering and technology, JSTT will be a bridge between practice - academia - international, helping to turn research topics and graduation theses into scientific products that can be published internationally, expanding opportunities for scholarships, studying abroad, or working at multinational corporations.

On this occasion, the Minister of Construction visited and worked with the University of Transport Technology.

Mr. Tran Hong Minh - Minister of Construction - congratulated JSTT on being officially listed in the Scopus index. This event is not only an important milestone in the development of the University of Transport Technology, but also a national achievement, affirming the increasingly high position of Vietnamese scientific journals on the international academic map.

Minister Tran Hong Minh said that the Ministry of Construction is focusing on investing in the construction of many important, large-scale traffic works, a series of key national traffic projects such as airports, highways, high-speed railways, etc.

Currently, 8 universities managed by the Ministry of Construction are training specialized and specific professions closely related to the functions and tasks of the Ministry (professions in the fields of construction and transportation of 5 sectors), helping the Ministry of Construction to be proactive in training and developing human resources, increasing the effectiveness of the Ministry's state management.

Therefore, the head of the Ministry of Construction suggested that the University of Transport Technology focus on four issues, identifying the development of science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation as the top important breakthroughs, the main driving force for socio-economic development, preventing the risk of falling behind, and bringing the country to breakthrough development and prosperity.

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Hoang Long - Principal of the University of Transport Technology - affirmed that the school will focus all resources to strongly develop key areas according to social needs such as high-speed railways, urban railways, smart transportation, semiconductor chips, and artificial intelligence.

"We are committed to continuing to improve academic quality, innovate in training and research, constantly expand international cooperation, and strongly promote the role of JSTT as an academic center serving the sustainable development of the industry and the country," said Mr. Long.
