Many candidates have been excluded from the list of scientists for professorship title this year because they have had a high numbers of scientific articles published. One candidate published 40-50 articles within half a year.

“I am asked why I continue to publish scientific articles while I have had more than 130 articles. I never set a target for the number of articles. What I am striving for is high-quality articles,” said Nguyen Van Hieu, a famous young scientist.
