Focus and Scope

The Dalat University Journal of Science (DLU-JOS) is a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed open-access journal published by Dalat University. The DLU-JOS welcomes original research articles and review papers in natural sciences and technology, social sciences and humanities, and economics and management. The DLU-JOS platform is organized into permanent, discipline-specific sections to facilitate browsing published articles and submitting new manuscripts relevant to each area of expertise. These sections are continuously open for submissions.

[1] Natural Sciences and Technology: This section features original research and review papers from several scientific and technical disciplines, including applied physics, biology, chemistry and chemical engineering, computer science and information technology, and mathematics.

[2] Social Sciences and Humanities: This section features the advancement of the humanities and social sciences in the context of Vietnam, including archaeology, cultural studies, education, ethnology, history, literature and linguistics, and sociology.

[3] Economics and Management: This section covers the entire scope of economics and management research in the Vietnamese context. Topics include business, economics, finance, and management.

DLU-JOS is a national academic journal that prioritizes Vietnamese scholarship within its core focus areas. To showcase cutting-edge research in specific areas, the DLU-JOS publishes annual issues dedicated to topics impacting Vietnam and its academic community. Recent examples include Vietnamese literature and history, Vietnamese archeology and ethnology, and scientific fields such as biology and applied physics. We also welcome submissions addressing themes related to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), particularly those relevant to Vietnamese readers, fostering regional collaboration. Submissions are encouraged to fall into one of these categories:

[1] Distinctly Vietnamese or ASEAN-related research: This encompasses studies that focus specifically on Vietnam or ASEAN member states.

[2] Research with a regional or international scope, but relevant to Vietnam: This category includes broader studies with significant implications for Vietnam.
