Canadian Social Work

Editorial Policy

Canadian Social Work, the official journal of the Canadian Association of Social Workers (CASW), it is published by Myropen Publications Ltd. in October of each year.

Articles (2500 to 5000 words) submitted for publication in the Journal are anonymously peer reviewed by Editorial Board members and other selected reviewers. The viewpoints of authors or advertisers are not necessarily those of CASW, Myropen Publications Ltd. or the Editorial Board.

The goals of the Journal are:
1. To provide a national forum in which Canadian social workers can share practice knowledge, research and skills, and debate contemporary social work concerns.
2. To stimulate discussion of national and regional social policy issues.
3. To promote exchange between social workers in different regions and language groups in Canada, the CASW and its member organizations, and Canadian and international social work communities.
4. To share information about social work educational resources -- books, films, videos, conferences and workshops.
Submissions
Articles can be submitted in either French or English, and if accepted will be published in the language in which the article is received with an abstract in the two official languages.

For further information write to CASW Journal, 383 Parkdale Avenue, Suite 402, Ottawa, ON K1Y 4R4.

Writer's Guide
Submissions are encouraged from all social work practice areas and perspectives. Social work professionals who do not have extensive publishing records are particularly invited to send their work for consideration. Writings from social workers who are members of a CASW member association will be given preference, subject to satisfactory peer review.

Submissions are welcome in either French or English and, if accepted, will be printed in full in which the article is received with an abstract in the two offical languages. Canadian Social Work features full-length articles up to a maximum of 5000 words, approximately 12 double-spaced pages, including references.

Articles, opinion pieces and research notes oriented towards advancing the knowledge, skill, and ethics of Canadian social work practitioners, and written from a social work viewpoint, are invited. A research note is a short synopsis of a social work research project including the results, how the results are expected to be useful to social workers, and where more information is available or inquiries can be referred. A research note should not exceed 500 words.
