In Vietnam, SCImago is a prestigious ranking used by organizations such as the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Nafosted Foundation as one of the reference criteria for the assessment process.

SCImago is a research organization with a mission of providing information on the quality of scientific research by countries, research institutes, and the prestige of publishing journals through the analysis of indicators based on the Scopus database developed since 2004 by Elsevier – an academic publishing company from the Netherlands.

The quality of journals is evaluated by using the SJR (SCImago Journal Ranking) indicator, which takes into account both the number of citations received by a journal and the prestige of the journals where the citations come from. This index was developed by SCImago from the widely known algorithm Google PageRank™. Based on the SJR indicators, journals are classified into 4 categories including Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 according to research areas. The SJR is subject to change, depending on the results of the annual assessment.

Being ranked Q3 by SCImago evidences the University’s vision of becoming a research university with an academic reputation in Asia. Through research funds and updated policies for research in recent years, NTTU has achieved observable results which improve the academic reputation of the University in Vietnam and in the world.
