- Title
BUILDING THE SOCIAL WORK LITERATURE IN HEALTH.
- Authors
Ross, Judith W.
- Abstract
The article introduces the may 1993 issue of the journal "Health & Social Work." The author stresses the importance of the literature for building and disseminating knowledge and for maintaining a consensus of values and ideals relative to professional priorities. According to him, journals are social work's most prominent medium for communicating new ideas and preserving belief system. Critical evaluation of manuscripts is formidable work and requires considerable time commitment. Much effort and thought goes into crafting an article for journal publication. Authors can buy some insurance against rejection by avoiding some common problems in their manuscripts. These problem are a research design which undermines the author's interpretation of results; overstatement of the implication of a study; lack of theoretical context or framework when reporting on clinical work; overly simplistic, superficial, or basic discussions of clinical interventions or reviews that present no new information.
