Vietnam's level of academic research remains modestWhen asked to comment about research quality of professors and associate professors, a university lecturer in Hanoi cited a report saying that 80 percent of published academic works are undersigned by both Vietnamese and foreign authors. “Professors and associate professors should question themselves if they have fulfilled their tasks and they still don’t have internationally recognized work,” Tam said. This means that if you don’t have published research, you will be weeded out of the academic system,” said Chinh. Some analysts say the value of the professorship title is ‘exaggerated’ and that ceremonies organized to grant the title are unwarranted.
