APPLYING HO CHI MINH'S THOUGHTS TO BUILDING A TEAM OF ENCYCLOPEDIA COMPILERS IN VIETNAM IN THE NEW ERA

Abstract

Every encyclopedia reflects  a particular political standpoint and bears the imprint of its historical and social context. This is largely attributable to the compilation team, whose members are highly qualified intellectuals capable of systematizing and standardizing specialized and local knowledge. In other words, for the compilers, political thought plays a crucial role in shaping the structure and content of an encyclopedic work. This article examines the importance and great significance of applying Ho Chi Minh Thought in building an team of encyclopedia compilers, and proposes recommendations for strengthening the capacity of encyclopedia compilers in Vietnam in the new era.
