Starting with the first international publication of Le Van Thiem in 1947, modern mathematics in Vietnam is a longstanding research field. However, what is known about its development usually comes from discrete essays such as anecdotes or interviews of renowned mathematicians. We introduce SciMath-a database on publications of Vietnamese mathematicians. To ensure this database covers as many publications as possible, data entries are manually collected from scientists' publication records, journals' websites, universities, and research institutions. Collected data went through various verification steps to ensure data quality and minimize errors. At the time of this report, the database covered 8372 publications, profiles of 1566 Vietnamese, and 1492 foreign authors since 1947. We found a growing capability in mathematics research in Vietnam in various aspects: scientific output, publications on influential journals, or collaboration. The database and preliminary results were presented to the Scientific Council of Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (VIASM) on November 13th, 2020.

越南数学研究的 80 年发展：来自 SciMath 数据库关于数学家、他们的工作和他们的网络的初步见解

从 1947 年 Le Van Thiem 的第一次国际出版物开始，越南的现代数学是一个长期的研究领域。然而，对其发展的了解通常来自离散文章，例如轶事或著名数学家的采访。我们介绍了 SciMath——一个关于越南数学家出版物的数据库。为确保该数据库涵盖尽可能多的出版物，数据条目是从科学家的出版记录、期刊网站、大学和研究机构中手动收集的。收集的数据经过各种验证步骤，以确保数据质量并最大限度地减少错误。在撰写本报告时，该数据库涵盖了 1947 年以来的 8372 篇出版物、1566 名越南人的简介和 1492 名外国作者。我们发现越南数学研究在各个方面的能力不断增强：科学产出、在有影响力的期刊上发表文章或合作。该数据库和初步结果已于 2020 年 11 月 13 日提交给越南高等数学研究所（VIASM）科学委员会。
