About the journal

Detailed information for the latest concepts and guidelines of social services!
The Journal of Social Service Research?(printed in 8.25"x 10.75" format beginning with Volume 33) is exclusively devoted to empirical research and its application to the design, delivery, and management of the new social services. Researchers, administrators, planners, and evaluators—all professionals whose responsibilities include the effective delivery of and accountability for social services—will want the most recent copy of this worthwhile journal at their fingertips.
Articles in the Journal of Social Service Research range from clinical research to empirical policy studies, with the main concern being the publication of research that makes a conceptual contribution to the social services field. Recent issues of the journal have covered:
- patterns of residential transitions between homeless and domiciled states among homeless women with children, single women, and single men
- a deviance syndrome perspective—examines how much overlap there is between certain deviant behaviors among adolescents and investigates whether the same theoretical elements account for variance in those behaviors
- the behavior problems of children receiving services through an adoption preservation program for legally adopted children at risk of placement or dissolution
- the use of anonymous enrollment as a technique for engaging and retaining respondents in research
- the developmental stages of an action research project, that is, research which actively involves the participants and other community members at all stages and which is designed to provide them tangible benefits
- a detailed description of conceptual, methodological, and measurement issues pertaining to research with ethnic minority women
- issues arising in research with ethnic minority elders
The Journal of Social Service Research?provides a focus on outcomes-based research and practice, and clearly presents the different types of funded and non-funded state-of-the-art research being carried out in the field. Each issue effectively highlights both the quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Contributors from the national and international social service arenas provide an important and critical basis for management and policy decisions in a wide variety of social service settings. |

PREPARATION OF TABLES, FIGURES, AND ILLUSTRATIONS
Any material that is not textual is considered artwork. This includes tables, figures, diagrams, charts, graphs, illustrations, appendices, screen captures, and photos. Tables and figures (including legend, notes, and sources) should be no larger than 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches. Type style should be Helvetica (or Helvetica narrow if necessary) and no smaller than 8 point. We request that computer-generated figures be in black and white and/or shades of gray (preferably no color; for it does not reproduce well). Camera-ready art must contain no grammatical, typographical,or format errors and must reproduce sharply and clearly in the dimensions of the final printed page (4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches). Photos and screen captures must be saved as a TIFF file or other graphic file format such as JPEG or BMP. For final hardcopy submission, these should be on disk or CD-ROM accompanying your manuscript. For rapid publication we must receive black-and-white glossy or matte positives (white background with black images and/or wording) in addition to files on disk. Tables should be created in the text document file using the software's Table feature.
SUBMITTING ART
Both a printed hard copy and an electronic copy of the art must be provided. We request that each piece of art be sent in its own file or on a disk separate from the disk containing the manuscript text file(s); disks should be clearly labeled. We reserve the right to (if necessary) request new art, alter art, or if all else has failed in achieving art that is presentable, delete art. If submitted art cannot be used, the publisher reserves the right to redo the art and to charge the author a fee of $55.00 per hour for this service. The Haworth Press, Inc. is not responsible for errors incurred in the preparation of new artwork. Camera-ready artwork must be prepared on separate sheets of paper. Always use black ink and professional drawing instruments. On the back of these items, write your article title and the journal title lightly in soft-lead pencil (please do not write on the face of art). In the text file, skip extra lines and indicate where these figures are placed. Photos are considered part of the acceptable manuscript and remain with the publisher for use in additional printings.
TYPESETTING
You will not be receiving galley proofs of your article. Editorial revisions, if any, must therefore be made while your article is still in manuscript form. The final version of the manuscript will be the version you see published. Typesetter's errors will be corrected by the production staff of The Haworth Press, Inc. Authors are expected to submit manuscripts, disks, and art that are free from error.
SPELLING, GRAMMAR, AND PUNCTUATION
You are responsible for preparing manuscript copy which is clearly written in acceptable, scholarly English and which contains no errors of spelling, grammar, or punctuation. Neither the editor nor the publisher is responsible for correcting errors of spelling and grammar. The manuscript, after acceptance by the editor, must be immediately ready for typesetting as it is finally submitted by the author(s). Check your paper for the following common errors:
- dangling modifiers
- misplaced modifiers
- unclear antecedents
- incorrect or inconsistent abbreviations
Also, check the accuracy of all arithmetic calculations, statistics, numerical data, text citations, and references. INCONSISTENCIES MUST BE AVOIDED. Be sure you are consistent in your use of abbreviations, terminology, and in citing references, from one part of your paper to another.
REFERENCE LINKING
The Haworth Press, Inc. is participating in reference linking for journal articles. (To obtain information on reference linking initiatives, please consult the CrossRef Web site at www.crossref.org). When citing a journal article include the article's Digital Object Identifier (DOI), when available, as the last item in the reference. A Digital Object Identifier is a persistent, authoritative, and unique identifier that a publisher assigns to each article. Because of its persistence, DOIs will enable The Haworth Press, Inc., and other publishers to link to the article referenced, and the link will not break over time. This will be a great resource in scholarly research.
An example of a reference to a journal article which includes a DOI:
Vizine-Goetz, Diane (2002). Classification Schemes for Internet Resources Revisited. Journal of Internet Cataloging 5(4): 5:18. doi:10.1300/J141v05n04_02
ALTERATIONS REQUIRED BY REFEREES AND REVIEWERS
Many times a paper is accepted by the editor contingent upon changes that are mandated by anonymous specialist referees and/or members of the editorial board. If the editor returns your manuscript for revisions, you are responsible for retyping any sections of the paper to incorporate these revisions (if applicable, revisions should also be put on disk).
