To: Esteemed Teachers, Scholars, and Peer Review Experts
Vietnamese Teachers’ Day on 20 November is not only an occasion to express gratitude to those standing on the podium, but also a reminder of the special role played by those who silently uphold academic standards – the “teachers behind the scenes” of the scientific community. For the Law and Development Journal, that is precisely you: impartial peer reviewers, dedicated editors, and insightful professional advisors.
In the context of increasing demands for legal reform, a scientific journal is not only a place for knowledge dissemination, but also a “normative standard” contributing to the shaping of societal legal values and thinking. Every manuscript meticulously edited, every independent peer review, and every well-founded professional recommendation from esteemed teachers and scientists directly strengthen the national legal scientific foundation. This work requires courage, intellect, and dedication, which not everyone is able to undertake. The Editorial Board deeply respects and sincerely appreciates your contributions – those who not only engage in academic activities but also uphold the “discipline of knowledge,” protect scientific integrity, and promote the innovative spirit of the Journal of Law and Development.
On the occasion of 20 November, the Editorial Board extends to you its wishes for health and enthusiasm, to continue accompanying the Law and Development Journal in its important mission: enhancing Vietnamese legal scholarship, fostering independent scientific thinking, and contributing meaningfully to the development and construction of the Socialist Rule-of-Law State of Viet Nam.
With sincere gratitude,
EDITORIAL BOARD
Journal of Law and Development
