[ Purposes] Focusing on the study of China＇s English scientific journals（CESJs） in geotechnical engineering, the paper tries to discuss the issue how to improve the international awareness and visibility of the CESJs in association with the experience obtained from the journal operation. In this regard, various factors in terms of journal operation are analyzed. [ Methods] Taking Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering （JRMGE） for example, we analyze the current challenging issues encountered in journal operation in order to identify the gaps existing compared with other international well-known scientific journals. Based on this, we give some suggestions and/or solutions to enhance JRMGE＇s international awareness and visibility. [ Findings ] The CESJs should pay more attention to two aspects, high-level papers and citation. In addition, we should be more patient and confident to increase the international visibility step by step, and figure out what and how to be addressed, for the purpose of title inclusion in internationally renowned databases. [ Conclusions ] The findings may be referenced by similar new journals that are not included in some important international databases, being recognized in the near future.
