Scientific and technological (S&T) book publishing plays an important role in the scientific communication system by disseminating knowledge, supporting education and training, and fostering innovation. However, the evaluation of publishing effectiveness currently relies largely on output-based indicators such as the number of titles published, print runs, or publishing revenue, which do not fully capture the utilisation and impact of scientific knowledge. This article examines the applicability of the Input-Output-Outcome-Impact (IOOI) model in evaluating the effectiveness of S&T book publishing in Vietnam. The study employs document analysis, descriptive survey methods, and content analysis involving key stakeholder groups, including policymakers, publishing personnel, lecturers, and researchers. The findings indicate that the IOOI model enables the assessment of publishing activities not only in terms of outputs but also with regard to accessibility, utilisation, and the broader impact of scientific knowledge. Based on these findings, the article proposes an IOOI-based indicator framework tailored to S&T book publishing, contributing to the improvement of publishing performance evaluation in the context of digital transformation.
