It is the first state encyclopedia of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The compilation process began in 1987 and was completed in 2005, involving 1200 scientists across Vietnam at a cost of 32 billion Vietnamese dong.[2]

The encyclopedia was published by Vietnam's Encyclopedia Publishing House, a constituent unit of Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences. Arranged by Vietnamese-alphabet order, the encyclopedia covers diverse topics ranging from history to child rearing. Since then, it has been converted to electronic versions (CD and ebook) and a free online version.
