Addressing the challenge of scientific integrity in Vietnam requires a multifaceted approach, with library and information services serving as a cornerstone to ensure rigorous and ethical research practices. This study aims to explore the perspectives of academics and students on library and information services in research and the importance of university activities in fostering scientific integrity in Vietnam’s higher education institutions. We used a quantitative research method to collect data from 647 lecturers and students through a questionnaire. The main result of this study shows that respondents gave a below-average rating to the quality of library and information services for research, with an average score of just 2.96. In contrast, they highly valued the importance of university activities—such as policies and procedures, support services and tools, and other programs—in promoting scientific integrity, with average scores exceeding 4.12. The findings are of interest to administrators, policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders aiming to offer and enhance the quality of library and information services for developing scientific integrity in Vietnamese universities.
