I have the pleasure to announce the new name of our journal,

Vietnam Journal of Science and Technology (VJST), with a new ISSN No. 2525-2518.

Founded in 1962 with the name of Tap san Khoa hoc Ky thuat, the journal originally published short research articles in general science and technique, all written in Vietnamese. Twenty years ago, the journal was renamed as Tap chi Khoa hoc va Cong nghe (Journal of Science and Technology). It has since evolved into a peer-reviewed journal, publishing six issues per year.  The published papers included articles in both Vietnamese and English and on broad topics related to science and technology in following five sections:  Natural Products, Materials, Environment, Electronics-Telecommunication, and Mechanics-Engineering. This year, on the 55^th anniversary occasion, the journal assumes a new name and starts publishing all articles in English.

A major milestone in the journal’s history was the launch of the online submission at the beginning of 2014, which significantly expanded its readership, improved quality, and enhanced the journal’s credibility overseas. I would like to express my appreciation to all of you who have contributed in various roles to the journal’s development, including as authors, reviewers, and editors. We have now inaugurated a new Editorial Board, involving several international scientists for each of the sections, aiming for a truly global reach and recognition of the journal.

We are currently exploring various measures to improve the VJST, and we rely on your active participation in the process. We look forward to your valuable manuscripts. The VJST editorial team will do its best to ensure that your esteemed papers are read and cited by target communities at the earliest possible time.

On behalf of the VJST

Editorial Board, I wish you all good health and success in all your work.
