Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research

The Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research (JSSWR) is an official publication of the Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR). SSWR is a free-standing organization founded in 1994 to advance social work research. The journal was founded in 2009 to encourage the participation of social workers in research, to strengthen the rigor and cultural congruence of social work research, and to improve the dissemination of knowledge in social work and related professions and disciplines.

The mission of JSSWR is to provide a venue for the timely publication of research that advances knowledge of social problems, programs, and policies. Special emphasis is placed on publishing findings from studies of the effectiveness of social and health services, including public policies and practices. JSSWR publishes rigorous empirical research that advances knowledge useful for designing social programs, developing innovative public policies, and improving social work practice.

An open-access journal, JSSWR is produced in electronic format only that is organized to provide rapid, high-quality reviews of manuscripts. It uses an Internet-based editorial process for making publication decisions and for reducing the time between the submission and, when reviews are positive, the publication of manuscripts. The intended audience of JSSWR extends beyond the membership of SSWR to the broader population of practitioners, administrators, and policy makers whose interests include social and health problems.
