Australian Social Work is currently recruiting for Peer Reviewers.
Australian Social Work is a scholarly, international refereed journal with an excellent impact factor (currently Q2). Like many professional journals, Australian Social Work relies heavily on the willing participation of volunteer peer Reviewers, who play a crucial role in maintaining the currency, legitimacy and integrity of the Journal through their expert reviews. Peer Reviewers make recommendations to the Editor after evaluating manuscripts in their area of research, policy and/or practice. Peer Reviewers play an important role in contributing to the improvement of an author’s submitted work.
The Review Process:
Each paper submitted to Australian Social Work is reviewed by at least two Reviewers. Both Reviewers and authors are anonymized. Feedback provided by Reviewers is considered by the Editorial team, who then make a decision regarding the readiness of the paper for publication.
