Journal contributor’s publishing agreement    Before publication SAGE requires the author as the rights holder to sign a Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement. SAGE’s Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement is an exclusive licence agreement which means that the author retains copyright in the work but grants SAGE the sole and exclusive right and licence to publish for the full legal term of copyright. Exceptions may exist where an assignment of copyright is required or preferred by a proprietor other than SAGE. In this case copyright in the work will be assigned from the author to the society. For more information please visit our Frequently Asked Questions on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway. 4.1 SAGE Choice and Open Access If you or your funder wish your article to be freely available online to non subscribers immediately upon publication (gold open access), you can opt for it to be included in SAGE Choice, subject to payment of a publication fee. The manuscript submission and peer review procedure is unchanged. On acceptance of your article, you will be asked to let SAGE know directly if you are choosing SAGE Choice. To check journal eligibility and the publication fee, please visit SAGE Choice.

Declaration of conflicting interests Within your Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement you will be required to make a certification with respect to a declaration of conflicting interests. The Journal of Social Work does not require a declaration of conflicting interests but recommends you review the good practice guidelines on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway. 6. Other conventions None applicable. 7. Acknowledgements Any acknowledgements should appear first at the end of your article prior to your Declaration of Conflicting Interests (if applicable), any notes and your References. All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an ‘Acknowledgements’ section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, writing assistance, or a department chair who provided only general support. Authors should disclose whether they had any writing assistance and identify the entity that paid for this assistance. 7.1 Funding Acknowledgement To comply with the guidance for Research Funders, Authors and Publishers issued by the Research Information Network (RIN), the Journal of Social Work additionally requires all Authors to acknowledge their funding in a consistent fashion under a separate heading. All research articles should have a funding acknowledgement in the form of a sentence as follows, with the funding agency written out in full, followed by the grant number in square brackets: This work was supported by the Medical Research Council [grant number xxx]. Multiple grant numbers should be separated by comma and space. Where the research was supported by more than one agency, the different agencies should be separated by semi-colon, with “and” before the final funder. Thus: This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust [grant numbers xxxx, yyyy]; the Natural Environment Research Council [grant number zzzz]; and the Economic and Social Research Council [grant number aaaa]. In some cases, research is not funded by a specific project grant, but rather from the block grant and other resources available to a university, college or other research institution. Where no specific funding has been provided for the research we ask that corresponding authors use the following sentence: This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors. Please include this information under a separate heading entitled ‘Funding’ directly after any other Acknowledgements prior to your “Declaration of Conflicting Interests” (if applicable), any Notes and your References. Important note: If you have any concerns that the provision of this information may compromise your anonymity dependent on the peer review policy of this journal outlined above, you can withhold this information until you submit the final accepted manuscript. For more information on the guidance for Research Funders, Authors and Publishers, please visit: http://www.rin.ac.uk/funders-acknowledgement. 7.2 Ethical approval Ethical considerations:  All articles reporting research on human subjects must have received research ethics approval from an appropriate Research Ethics Committee  or other appropriate competent research body in accordance with national requirements, and must conform to the principles embodied in the Singapore Statement on Research Integrity (http://www.singaporestatement.org). All such articles must include the following statement, whichs hould appear after the conclusion under a separate heading : Ethical approval for this project was given by (name and location of competent body) [ref number xxx]. 8.
