Co-writing and publishing
Revisions on a multi-author paper: who drives, and by when
Papers with partners rarely die from bad reviews. They die because nobody owned the revision and the resubmission window closed.

Co-writing and publishing
Working across cultures
Running the video call your partner can actually contribute to
Most of a collaboration happens on video calls, and most of those calls are structured in ways that quietly exclude the people on the other side of the time dif
Conferences and networks
Co-hosting a workshop in Vietnam: the cheapest way to build a real network
Funding three of your people to fly out buys three sets of contacts. Co-hosting a workshop there builds them for a whole group — including the students.
Agreements and authorship
Closing a collaboration properly: the conversation nobody schedules
Most collaborations do not end. They go quiet, leaving a dataset and a half-finished manuscript in a state nobody has authority to resolve.
Data and research ethics
Vulnerability in the field: what to settle before your partner faces it alone
The consent problems that matter most in Vietnam fieldwork are rarely the ones your home committee asks about.
Data and research ethics
Writing a data management plan your partner can actually live with
The section most funders treat as compliance is the one that decides whether your partner still has a research programme after your grant ends.
Finding partners in Vietnam
Before you send that first email: what makes an approach worth answering
Most enquiries to Vietnamese research groups go unanswered, and the reasons are consistent enough to fix.
Co-writing and publishing
Co-writing with partners whose first language is not English
Offering to write the manuscript because your English is better is a reasonable-sounding decision that quietly transfers control of the paper.
Working across cultures
Reading your Vietnamese collaborators correctly
The signals you rely on to know whether a plan is agreed may not be present — and their absence does not mean what you think it means.
Agreements and authorship
Authorship in Vietnam collaborations: settle it while the science is still uncertain
By the time the manuscript exists, the conversation is no longer about principles. It is about a specific paper whose value both sides can already see.
Conferences and networks
Meeting Vietnamese researchers at conferences: making it lead somewhere
Most conference contacts go nowhere for a predictable reason: nobody left with a specific next step.
International funding
Budgeting a Vietnamese partner into your grant
Most problems with partner budgets are not about the total. They are about who set the figures, and what the partner institution can actually process.
