FOUNDING CONSULTANT

China Journal of Social Work (CJSW), the first academic English journal in Chinese mainland on social work field, is an international peer-reviewed journal published by the Taylor and Francis Group, in collaboration with “Peking University-The Hong Kong Polytechnic University China Social Work Research Centre”, which endeavors to provide a platform for scholars within and outside the 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.

•  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.
