Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day (June 21, 1925 – June 21, 2025), the English edition of the Journal of Economics and Development (Journal of Economic Development – JED) reached another important milestone in its scholarly journey.

According to the latest announcements from Clarivate Analytics and the Scopus database (Elsevier) in June 2025, JED has officially earned an Impact Factor (IF) of 4.3 (Web of Science) and a CiteScore of 8.5 (Scopus), while maintaining its Q1 ranking in Scimago. These indicators reflect the Journal’s growing academic reputation internationally and affirm the quality and influence of the research it has published in recent years.

IF is an indicator of the average annual number of citations received by research articles published in scholarly journals. It therefore serves, in part, as a measure of a scholarly journal’s relative reputation compared with other journals in the same research field. JED’s IF of 4.3, according to Web of Science data, shows that articles published in the Journal are attracting considerable attention and exerting a wide-ranging influence within the scientific community. Meanwhile, its Scopus CiteScore of 8.5, calculated based on the average number of citations over four years, also reflects JED’s stability and enduring academic appeal.

This achievement marks a new step forward in JED’s efforts to integrate and improve its quality, building on its proud accomplishments over the past 30 years. It also reflects the collective contributions of the scientific community and effective investment by leadership at all levels of National Economics University (NEU), as well as by government agencies.

On this special occasion, the JED Editorial Board extends its deep gratitude to the generations of scholars and administrators who have helped build and develop the Journal over more than three decades. Building on this tradition, JED remains committed to maintaining high academic standards, advancing internationalization, and attracting scholarly research that contributes to addressing sustainable development challenges in a volatile global context.

Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day, JED’s achievement offers vivid evidence that Vietnam’s scholarly journals are making strong advances, keeping pace with the development of science worldwide. The Journal will continue its mission as an academic forum guided by professionalism and integrity, striving to merit the scientific community’s trust and meet the expectations of NEU and Vietnam’s scientific sector.
