In this article, I discuss how Chinese social work scholars can enhance their ability to publish their research in English language journals successfully. I describe the processes of developing sophisticated skills in writing research as one of gradual shaping, initially beginning with smaller-scale contributions to journals and only attempting to undertake and write up more sophisticated research projects by building upon past successes. A variety of forms of scholarship are described, with examples of each type being cited. Approaches to successfully navigating the journal publication system are presented, and various resources are cited to learn more about English language social work and other disciplinary journals in the social and behavioural sciences. Given China’s growing position in the worldwide profession of social work, it is crucial that advances in practice and research in that country be widely disseminated
