ABSTRACT Four types of academic social media (publication-repository, Q&A, crowd-funding, and blogs) provide a mixed methods review of Vietnamese academic usage with Chinese data presented as control. Data show the extent Vietnamese academics are present, and from this, a future trajectory. An iterative qualitative process assesses the quality of academic offerings. Results predict the character of future technological progress. The specific context of Vietnam, with its large population (95.5 million) and close proximity to China provides a backdrop to scientific innovation and academic endeavors taking place here. The presence of Vietnamese academics on social media is a marker for future growth.
