It aims to provide the much-needed forum for social workers to discuss and debate social issues of developmental significance, with connections to social work insights. Majorly, it seeks to emphasize exemplary research that advances the development of applied knowledge capable of informing the social work discipline and its broad concerns. The journal aims to cover every aspect of social work research, practice, and theory. It is read by social work educators, researchers, practitioners, managers, concerned scholars, and persons outside the discipline who wish to keep up with theoretical and empirical developments in the field of social work.
