About the journal
Qualitative Social Work provides a forum for those interested in qualitative research and evaluation and in qualitative approaches to practice. The journal facilitates interactive dialogue and integration between those interested in qualitative research and methodology and those involved in the world of practice. It reflects the fact that these worlds are increasingly international and interdisciplinary in nature. The journal is a forum for rigorous dialogue that promotes qualitatively informed professional practice and inquiry.
In addition to articles on qualitative research, evaluation and practice, the journal promotes exchange and conversation on:
- The role of critical perspectives within social work
- The nature of reflective inquiry and practice
- Emerging applications of critical realism in social work
- The potential of social constructionist and narrative approaches to research and practice
The basic assumptions of all forms of research and of practice are being challenged. We invite journal contributors to engage with that challenge and to do so in the primary contexts of social work and the evaluation of practice. Practitioners and those articulating international and interdisciplinary perspectives are particularly encouraged to submit articles and commentary.

Instructions to Authors
Qualitative Social Work provides a forum for those interested in qualitative research and evaluation and in qualitative approaches to practice. The journal facilitates interactive dialogue and integration between those interested in qualitative research and methodology and those involved in the world of practice. It reflects the fact that these worlds are increasingly international and interdisciplinary in nature. The journal is a forum for rigorous dialogue that promotes qualitatively informed professional practice and inquiry.
1. Peer review policy
All manuscripts are reviewed initially by the Editors and only those papers that meet the scientific, practice and editorial standards of the journal, and fit within the aims and scope of the journal, will be sent for outside review. QSW operates an unseen peer review process in which the reviewer's name is withheld from the author and the author's name from the reviewer. The reviewer may at their own discretion opt to reveal their name to the author in their review, and we publish the names of all reviewers in the final issue of each volume, but our standard policy practice is for both identities to remain concealed.
Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two referees. All manuscripts are reviewed as rapidly as possible, and an editorial decision is generally reached within six weeks of submission.
2. Article types
The journal encourages the submission of original manuscripts, commentary and essays devoted to the examination of issues related to qualitative research and evaluation and to qualitative approaches to social work practice. Manuscripts submitted for main articles should be 15-25 double spaced pages (4,000-7,000 words) in length, including references, figures and tables. All articles should be accompanied by relevant keywords and an abstract of no more than 250 words.
The journal also invites articles for regular special features. These include:
New Voices: Articles by oppressed voices that often have been silenced, and from authors working in contexts that are new to publishing on qualitative research and practice and are exploring new possibilities for the use of qualitative research and practice. We welcome articles from practitioners, new researchers and others who are finding creative ways to work with and write about qualitative research and practice. Articles may take the form of concise reviews, syntheses, reports, innovative writing forms, or reflective analyses based on dissertations and theses completed or in process, conference papers or practice accounts of 10-15 pages (2,750-4,000 words).
Response and Commentary: This section includes responses to previous articles in the journal or contributions that initiate discussion of current research and practice issues. Usually 4-6 pages (1,000-1,500 words).
Practice and Teaching of Qualitative Social Work: Critical 'how-to' accounts and reflections on the methodology and practice of qualitative social work. Normally 10-15 pages (2,750-4,000 words).
Technical Applications: Reviews of developments that impact on qualitative research and practice such as qualitative analysis software and voice activated recording devices. Normally 5-10 pages (1,200-2,500 words).
The journal will produce occasional themed issues on topics of current interest.
