Abstract | In the literature on academic publishing, little attention has been paid to the
needs and concerns of non-English-speaking researchers in professional contexts. This
paper addresses the gap in that literature by providing insights into the situation with
medical doctors in China. Following an overview of the broad picture, I will report a
case study, which was conducted at a major hospital in East China and which aimed at
exploring how a group of orthopedic surgeons access the English medical literature and
to what extent they seek the support of editorial services and training in academic
writing/publication skills. The results of the study show that the participant doctors tend
to rely on their students or overseas personal connections for access to full-text medical
literature, and they have generally had limited experience with language editorial services
and academic writing/publication skills seminars. The paper ends by discussing some
challenges while proposing recommendations for enhancing Chinese doctors’ access to the
full-text medical literature, as well as their understanding of the kind of support that can be
provided by editorial services and training in publication skills. |
