Current Situation
The Asia University Ranking 2018: 359 and no Vietnamese University in the list (Website), 75% criteria based on research.
Why research publication is long, difficult but necessary.
For example, in Financial Research :
- Vietnam financial market is frontier market Better understanding before using, and developing market
- Very few published researches on Vietnam markets because of data integration difficulty (lots of sources but not integrated, not clean data and the history is not long enough)
- Empirical research techniques and tools are not accessible for non-technician researchers
- Softwares limited for complex models and big data
- Research paper Submission requires more conditions (data coverage, history, …)
- Waste and poor results of separate financial research investments: duplicated investment, but not concentrated and shared
- Little stimulation, and competition because there is few community for research in finance in Vietnam
- Research development begins with the training of junior researchers
Fortunately, the situation is starting to change, and the Cloud Computing Platform for Research (CCPR) comes at the right time.
The CCPR contains 4 interactive tools;
- Published papers: easily and automatically find published papers using keywords.
- Data: easy to upload your research data and extract data from the our platform to build customized data
- Built-in advanced statistical and econometric analysis
- Web services: make data extraction and automation easier
Values and Benefits of this Platform
- First research live platform in the world
- Single access for all data: multi area (economics, climate, finance,…), multi location (Vietnam and international)
- Very long history for research: example DJIA from 1896
- Reduce your time in searching, data management, modelling
- Reduce research barriers
- Reduce duplicated works
- Research accessible to more, Research is not just for the elites
- No need local powerful equipment because of Cloud Computing
