INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS:
PRACTICE NOTES SUBMISSIONS
Practice note
submissions should discuss current examples of practice
situations (micro through macro) and what can be learned in the
profession from situations like these. References from the
literature about the practice area explored are encouraged in
these articles. These articles could be written like case
studies, but they also could be written in a different voice
(including first person). Social work practice notes articles
may include diagrams, forms, and other sample documents which
help the reader better understand the lessons from practice.
Articles should be 7-10 pages in length, including diagrams, and
double-spaced. These articles are not part of the regular,
blind, peer-review process for the journal.
