Guidelines for Submitting Manuscripts for Social Work and Christianity
Social Work and Christianity (SWC) is a refereed journal published by the North American Association of Christians in Social Work (NACSW) in order to contribute to the growth of social workers in the integration of Christian faith and professional practice. SWC welcomes articles, shorter contributions, book reviews, and letters which deal with issues related the integration of faith and professional social work practice and other professional concerns which have relevance to Christianity.
Views expressed by authors are their own and do not necessarily reflect those of SWC or NACSW. Membership in NACSW or publication in SWC in no way implies endorsement or certification of the member’s or author’s qualifications, ability, or proficiency to practice social work. NACSW and SWC do not assume responsibility in any way for members’ or readers’ efforts to apply or utilize information, suggestions, or recommendations made by the association, its publications, conferences, or other resources.
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR AUTHORS
Submit manuscripts to SWC with a separate, unattached title page
that includes the author's name, address, phone, email address, and an abstract
of not more than 150 words, as well as a brief list of key words, as well as a
brief list of keywords. Repeat the title on the first page of the text and
double space the text. Use the American Psychological Association Style Manual
format (5th edition) for in-text references and reference lists. Submit
manuscripts as email attachments to dsherwood@georgefox.edu,
preferably in Microsoft Word.
At least three members of the editorial board will anonymously review manuscripts
and recommend a decision based on the following criteria: relevance of content
to major issues concerning the relationship of social work and Christianity,
literary merit, conciseness, clarity, and freedom from language that conveys
devaluation or stereotypes of persons or groups. The editor in chief will make
final decisions.
