“…Also, the Gelman shrink factor (Rhat) of all parameters is 1, showing the convergence of Markov chains. MCMC trace plot of the model also confirms the Markov property of the coefficients' distribution (see Supplementary) ( Vuong, 2020a ; McElreath, 2020 ).…”

“…Within this conjecture, after a long period of low scientific productivity and output, the fields of Social Sciences and Humanities (SS&H) have also witnessed phenomenal growth, largely thanks to the financial support from governmental and private organizations as well as policies promoting international collaboration and adoption of international publishing standard ( Vuong et al., 2018b ; Vuong, 2019b , 2020a ).…”

“…Nevertheless, the introduction of Circular 37/2014/TT-BKHCN in 2014, which requires all national projects to result in ISI/Scopus publications, and Circular 08/2017/TT-BGDĐT in 2017, which requires doctoral candidates to publish at least two articles in ISI/Scopus journals, has imposed enormous pressure on international publishing ( Vietnam MOET, 2017 ; Nafosted, 2018 ; Nguyen et al., 2019 ; Vuong et al., 2020 ). As a result, these policies have been empirically linked with an increase in SS&H research productivity ( Nguyen et al., 2019 ; Vuong, 2019b , 2020a ).…”

“…The launch of Plan S initiative in September 2018, which is promoted by cOAlition S, marked a milestone in achieving OA science ( cOALition, 2020 ). It sets an ambitious goal that all scholarly publications funded by its members must be published open access ( cOALition, 2020 ; Else, 2019 ; Noorden, 2020 ; Rabesandratana, 2019 ; Vuong, 2020a ). So far, the radical plan has been endorsed by major scientific funders in the world.…”

Open Access (OA) publishing, with ambitious movements such as Plan S, is engendering radical changes among academic publishers. Emerging countries need to keep publishing as well as adopt open access to catch up with the changes. Using exclusive data from the Social Sciences & Humanities Peer Awards (SSHPA) database, the study employed both descriptive statistics and a Bayesian linear regression model to examine the journals and publishers in which Vietnamese social scientists published during the period 2008–2019, and the potential of pursuing the OA movement in Vietnam. We found an increasing diversification in the publishing sources of Vietnamese social science researchers with growth rates of 9.8% and 14.1% per annum in the number of publishers and journals, respectively. Given that the proportion of Gold OA articles had a fourfold increase over the examined period, it seems that the Vietnamese academic community is adopting OA. Furthermore, Bayesian analysis results hint at positive associations of internal and external collaborative power (number of domestic and foreign authors, respectively) with the decision to publish in OA ( β b_TotalVN_OpenAccess = 0.22; β b_TotalForeign_OpenAccess = 0.15). The results and its implications suggest that Vietnamese policymakers and university director boards should facilitate as well as control the quality of the scientific publishing and the OA movement.

The participation of women in Vietnam's social sciences and humanities research has increased during the last several decades. However, they still face various challenges, such as the 'glass ceiling', social stereotypes, low recognition, and underrepresentation. The open‐access (OA) movement, being advocated for connecting science and community and improving scientists' visibility, offers a viable platform to increase participation of female researchers. This research investigated participation of Vietnamese women in 3,122 Social Sciences & Humanities publications during 2008–2019. Results show a rapid increase in female authors during the period, rising from 47.27% to 71.43% of articles having one or more Vietnamese female author. However, the number of women as first authors remained lower than men, with only 397 publications having a female first author. Bayesian analysis showed that although the number of coauthors was positively associated with the likelihood to publish in an OA journal, there was a negative association between Vietnamese female author participation and the likelihood to publish OA, a finding that matched the effect of female contribution from other countries. These findings hint at the gender inequality induced by cultural and socio‐economic factors, and we postulate that the influence of financial and other inequalities may limit the ability of women to take full advantage of OA publication to further their careers.
