EAI Endorsed Transactions on Industrial Networks & Intelligent Systems in SCOPUS

EAI Endorsed Transactions on Industrial Networks & Intelligent Systems was launched in 2018 jointly by DTU and the European Alliance for Innovation (EAI). The journal has ISSN 2410-0218 and was accepted into the SCOPUS database in 2022. It is jointly organized and managed by DTU and Passage to ASEAN (P2A).

The International Journal of Industrial Networks & Intelligent Systems

To be indexed in SCOPUS, journals undergo rigorous evaluation regarding quality, impact, publisher reputation, and the diversity and reputation of authors and editorial board members.

Journals must publish four issues per year for at least three years with international publications of high quality. The editorial board, consisting of Prof. Dr Duong Quang Trung of Memorial University (Canada), and Dr Le Nguyen Bao and Dr Vo Nguyen Son of DTU (Vietnam), has worked closely over the years with domestic and international collaborators to ensure both the continued quantity and quality of published papers.

Announcement of the inclusion of the International Journal

of Industrial Networks & Intelligent Systems in SCOPUS

The journal has rank Q2 in several fields:

-    Control & Systems Engineering,
-    Computer Networks & Communications,
-    Information Systems,
-    Computer Science Applications.

In 2023, DTU’s International Journal of Knowledge & Systems Science (IJKSS) was officially included in Clarivate’s Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) and received an impact factor (IF) of 1.0. Prior to that, IJKSS had already been accepted into SCOPUS and was also indexed in ACM, INSPEC, and 11 other reputable scientific databases.

IJKSS co-organized and co-managed by DTU

The International Journal of Knowledge & Systems Science was established to promote the development of two disciplines:

-    knowledge science,

-    systems science.

The journal aims to strengthen collaboration among scholars and experts worldwide across multiple disciplines related to these two scientific fields. Aimed at scholars, professors, students, and experts in these fields, IJKSS publishes articles addressing the development of new models for understanding and modeling human knowledge processes in mathematical, engineering, social, psychological, and philosophical frameworks.

DTU Journal of Science & Technology affirms academic reputation

The DTU Journal of Science & Technology is DTU’s scientific journal, operating under license 46/GP-BVHTTDL issued by the Vietnamese Ministry of Culture, Sports, & Tourism on May 30, 2025.

Granted the ISSN 1859-4905 in 2012, the journal is published in both in print and electronically (https://duytan.edu.vn/tap-chi-khoa-hoc-cong-nghe). It publishes research results by lecturers and scientists, whether or not they work for DTU, including contributors from around the world.

The DTU Journal of Science & Technology among the scientific journals

meeting 2026 Vietnamese Scientific Standards

The journal covers six broad academic fields:

-    natural sciences,
-    engineering & technology,
-    health & life sciences,
-    social sciences,
-    humanities & arts,
-    applied & interdisciplinary sciences.

Since its first issue in 2011 until May 2026, the journal has published 75 issues and has maintained six issues per year since 2018, including some in English to broaden international integration. The journal applies double-blind peer-review with experts holding PhDs or higher and ensures objectivity through balanced participation from both internal and external reviewers.

The journal is currently used by the Vietnamese State Council for Professorship for points in 11 disciplines:

-    earns 0.5 point in 7 disciplines: pharmacy; educational sciences; literature; culture, arts, physical education, and sports; physics; civil engineering & architecture; and chemistry & food technology.
-    earns 0.25 point in 4 disciplines: mechanical engineering & dynamics; economics; biology; and philosophy, political science, and sociology.

The inclusion of three DTU journals in the 2026 list of scientific journals meeting the criteria of the Ministry of Science & Technology not only affirms the university’s academic reputation and research capabilities, but also contributes to enhancing Vietnam’s scientific standing on the regional and global scientific stage. This will be an important foundation for promoting research, international publications, and deeper global integration in the years ahead.
