China Journal of Social Work (CJSW) is the first academic English journal jointly edited from Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland to focus on social work development taking place in China. The journal endeavours to provide a platform for scholars within and outside mainland China to share research, teaching and practice experiences and to facilitate critical dialogue between Chinese social workers and their international peers.
The journal welcomes submissions from all areas of social work theory and practice, social work education, social development, and social policy in the Chinese context. While the journal will primarily focus on the Chinese mainland, it welcomes contributions from other countries and regions, which have broad implications for social work internationally.
CJSW aims to:
- Document updated social policy trends and initiatives in social work and social development in different Chinese societies.
- Encourage international dialogue and debates on issues related to social work theory and practice, social work education, social development, and social policy in the Chinese context.
- Promote indigenization of social work theory and practice in the Chinese context.
- Serve as a catalyst to promote positive social development and to enhance social betterment in Chinese societies.
