SSWR was founded in 1994 as a professional membership society for social workers who are interested in research. SSWR is an individually based organization. Members of the SSWR now receive a subscription to Research on Social Work Practice as a benefit of membership. An editorial board of nationally known social workers with expertise in the principles and methodologies of practice research will provide timely and constructive reviews of each manuscript. All reviews will be conducted using blind peer-review procedures.
Authors can expect an editorial decision within three months of submission.
Articles should be typewritten and double-spaced, with footnotes, references, tables and figures on separate pages. Manuscripts should follow the Publication Manual of the American Psychological association, 4th edition. A copy of the final revised manuscript saved on IBM- compatible disk and formatted in WordPerfect should be included with the final revised hard copy. Submission of a manuscript implies commitment to publish in the journal. Authors submitting manuscripts to the journal should not simultaneously submit them to another journal, nor should manuscripts have been published elsewhere in substantially similar form or with substantially similar content.
