HSU and Emerald Group Publishing Collaborate to Expand Global Research Opportunities
On August 27, 2026, Hoa Sen University welcomed representatives from Emerald Group Publishing for a meeting focused on strengthening collaboration in research and international publishing. As a prestigious international academic publisher, Emerald Group Publishing offered a multidisciplinary content ecosystem, with approximately 90% of its publications indexed in Scopus.
Research Publications, Quality, and Impact
On August 27, 2026, Hoa Sen University (HSU) welcomed representatives from Emerald Group Publishing to explore opportunities for stronger collaboration in research and international publishing. Led by Dr. Le Van Ut, HSU Vice President for Scientific Research and Dean of the Institute for Scientometrics and Research Administration Policies (SARAP), the meeting brought together discussions on emerging international research and publishing trends, research quality and impact, and broader access to international academic resources for HSU lecturers and researchers.
The discussions also explored current international research trends, with research quality, impact, and real-world value increasingly gaining importance alongside publication volume.
Beyond generating new knowledge and publishing in international journals, research is increasingly expected to create practical value by connecting with communities and businesses and addressing pressing societal challenges.
This orientation supports HSU’s strategy of fostering an internationally oriented, applied, and value-driven research environment, with a focus on improving research quality, expanding its reach, and increasing its real-world impact.
Meeting the Needs of Faculty and Researchers
The meeting fostered an open and engaging exchange among lecturers and researchers from various faculties, institutes, and departments across HSU. Representatives from the Faculty of Business, Faculty of Marketing and Communication, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Languages and Psychology, and Department of Liberal Arts Education, together with other lecturers, actively raised questions, exchanged perspectives, and shared practical needs related to research, academic literature searches, and international publishing.
The discussions addressed common challenges faced by lecturers and researchers, from developing relevant research topics and keeping pace with emerging trends to accessing academic literature and identifying appropriate publication opportunities.
In particular, participants were interested in the potential of leveraging Emerald’s resources, especially its extensive collection of academic journals and case studies. Beyond supporting knowledge discovery and keeping researchers up to date, these resources can help lecturers develop research ideas, draw on practical case studies, and bring research closer to real-world practice.
Academic Resources and International Publishing Support
During the meeting, Emerald representatives introduced their ecosystem of resources and support programs for faculty and researchers, spanning academic journals, foundational and emerging research content, eBooks, case studies, and author support throughout the research and international publishing process.
Covering diverse fields such as Economics, Management, Finance, Education, Tourism, Hospitality, Logistics, Technology, Engineering, and Social Sciences, Emerald’s resources provide HSU faculty and researchers with access to a wider world of international knowledge.
Beyond keeping pace with new research directions and expanding reference sources, this access can support stronger research quality and help researchers turn ideas into work with greater potential for international publication and real-world impact.
Expanding opportunities for collaboration and partnership with the HSU research community
Building on shared priorities and practical needs, HSU and Emerald Group Publishing explored opportunities to deepen future collaboration, from expanding access to international academic resources and strengthening research and publishing capabilities to fostering academic connections and creating pathways toward international publishing.
More than a meeting, the discussion opened a new avenue for HSU faculty and researchers to connect with global knowledge, resources, and academic networks, creating greater opportunities to develop research with broader reach and impact.
This initiative reflects HSU’s ongoing commitment to building a connected research ecosystem, where academic resources support research, research reaches international publications, and knowledge creates meaningful value for the community and society.
