Makale Özeti: It is important that scholars possess effective written and oral communication skills in order to present their research within their discourse community, exchange findings, and make their contribution attract attention. The most common form of communication scholars are involved in to contribute to the scientific world as global partners is scholarly writing. Owing to the status of English as a lingua franca, in a number of non-Anglophone speaking countries, the accelerating pressure to publish research in English language journals imposes challenges on non-native scholars. The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and reliable measuring tool to determine writing self-efficacy of scholars who create manuscripts for publication. Following the construction of the scale, exploratory factor analysis revealed two factors and 20 items explaining 75.55 % of the variance. Reliability of total scale was found as .976. The value for the first sub-scale was .977 and .901 for the second sub-scale. Validity and reliability analyses demonstrated that the instrument is a valid and reliable tool to assess scholars’ self-efficacy levels in writing research articles.
