In 2022, according to Decision No. 42/QĐ-HĐGSNN approving the list of scientific journals for scoring in 2022, the Journal of Science and Technology on Information Security was awarded 0.5 points by the Council for Professorship in Information Technology and 0.5 points by the Electrical-Electronic-Automation Interdisciplinary Professor Council. Recently, on July 5, the State Council for Professorship of Vietnam issued Decision No. 25/QĐ-HĐGSNN dated July 5, 2024, approving the list of scientific journals for scoring in 2024. Accordingly, the Journal of Science and Technology on Information Security increased to 0.75 points in both the Information Technology Professor Council and the Electrical-Electronic-Automation Interdisciplinary Professor Council. This is an important step forward, further affirming the role and position of the Journal in the specialized scientific research field of information security in Vietnam.

The increase in points by the Professor Councils brings many benefits and positive impacts for the publication. Firstly, it is a confirmation of the quality and prestige of the publication, as well as a well-deserved recognition for the efforts and contributions of the publication over time, opening up many new opportunities and prospects for the publication in the future. It is also an important step, helping to attract and encourage scientists and researchers from both inside and outside the country to continue to contribute and enhance the quality of their research works. Additionally, this decision reflects the interest, direction, and support from the leaders of the Vietnam Government Information Security Commission, management agencies, and the scientific research community towards the development of the publication.

Therefore, the Journal of Science and Technology on Information Security faces many new challenges to promote and maintain its position. To achieve this, the Journal will continue to develop and improve the quality of the publication, focusing more on improving the review, editing, and publishing processes; enhancing participation in major domestic and international conferences on security and information safety; and listening to feedback to absorb and address any shortcomings.

The decision to increase points by the State Council for Professorship of Vietnam for the Journal of Science and Technology on Information Security is clear evidence of the relentless efforts of the staff and editors. This is not only a significant advancement for the Journal but also a source of pride and motivation for the Journal to aim higher, join prestigious scientific organizations worldwide, and leverage the strengths of the only specialized publication in the country in the field of information security.
