The Journal of Social Work is a forum for the publication, dissemination and debate of key ideas and research in social work. The journal aims to advance theoretical understanding, shape policy, and inform practice, and welcomes submissions from all areas of social work.
In addition to longer articles, the Journal of Social Work publishes occasional shorter 'think pieces': reports of research in progress, comments on previously published articles, and analyses of current and topical practice, policy and theory (Provided by Publisher).
Search for journal articles using Library Search (you can do keyword searches for either the title of a journal or an article).
Relevant journals relating to Social Work:
The list of journal titles above was compiled based on suggestions from academic staff and recent publishing data for authors from the Division of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work (extracted from Pure - the University of Manchester's institutional repository).
You can also browse a selection of the Social Work related journals we subscribe to using Browzine.
Google Scholar can be a useful tool to use when searching for journal articles. However, it's important to be aware that Google Scholar will return results for articles, journals and other resources that the Library doesn't necessarily subscribe to and which you might not have free access to as a student at the University of Manchester.
In order to make it easier to identify and access content provided by the Library when searching Google (and without having to visit Library Search), we recommend that you download Library Access. This is a useful browser extension that will pop-up and notify you when you are on a journal or website that the Library has a subscription for.
If you are unable to access an article that you need, fill in the Order an Article form and we will get it for you.
University staff should use the Order an Article (Staff) form.
