Therefore, HCMUTE always pays great attention to supporting students in accessing scientific research, thereby affirming their creativity and international integration capabilities.”

At the event, MSc. Ngo Phuong Trinh , lecturer at WESET English Center Co., Ltd., shared essential knowledge on scientific research skills in English through five key topics:

Introduction to the concept of English in Research and its importance for international publications.

How to search for documents in STEM fields, criteria for evaluating quality papers, and how to identify predatory journals/conferences.

Methods for reading and analyzing scientific documents based on the IMRaD model (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion).

The process of preparing a manuscript.

How to choose reputable journals for publishing research.

Her presentation provided students with practical knowledge for their research journey—from understanding the importance of English in international publishing, searching for and evaluating reliable sources, to developing skills in reading and analyzing papers under the IMRaD standard, preparing manuscripts, and selecting reputable journals—contributing to enhancing the quality and professionalism of their scientific projects.
