Call for Papers
Manuscript submission: August 15th, 2016
Social Work Review [Revista de Asistență Socială, ISSN 1583-0608] is a scholarly peer-reviewed
international journal published by the University of Bucharest in partnership with Polirom Publishing
House. It aims to serve as means of dissemination of social work theory, research, policies and practices.
Social Work Review publishes original and innovative articles on social welfare and human services,
social development and social justice, as well as on social worker’s involvement in the traditional
neighboring fields of education, criminal justice and healthcare.
Issue no. 4/2016 is dedicated to project management in social work. Since Romania became an EU member
state, during the financial cycle of the 2007-2013 period, there have been designed, developed and
implemented local, regional or national projects by either public or private organizations aiming at improving
the quality of life of the people in need. The issue aims at combining perspectives of theoretical project
management with the practice of project implementation in public or private social services. Papers in social
work and other related fields are invited that convey both Romanian and international experience. There are
welcomed articles, case studies and critical analyses that are disseminating on the good practices evolved
from projects` implementation, as well as pieces of writing that approach the `dark side` of social work. In
regard to that, the papers can refer either to ethical misconducts of professionals in social work field, the
impact of economical austerity on the provision of social, education and health services, translation of social
policy into national, regional or local programs, challenges and obstacles encountered in project
implementation, and the topics’ list is not limited to the above mentioned ones.
There are expected contributions in English or Romanian from social workers, psychologists, sociologists,
researchers, project management practitioners and other professionals. All articles published in the Social
Work Review are indexed by ProQuest, EBSCO, Social Work Abstracts, CEEOL, Index Copernicus, SCIPIO,
GESIS and IBSS. Authors receive an electronic version of their article.
We accept articles that are between 4,000 and 6,000 words (without references), as well as bookreviews of up to 1,000 words. References will comply with APA style. An article template can be
downloaded from the journal’s webpage http://swreview.eu/, section Instructions for Authors.
