Special issue information

Nordic Social Work Research supports good initiatives for special issues of high quality which contribute to academic development and research relevant to Nordic social work research. Nordic Social Work Research accepts special issues in two formats, either as a themed issue within the standard volume of the journal or as a supplementary issue in addition to the year volume. Proposals for special issues will be assessed by the editorial board of the journal once per year. The deadline for submitting a proposal is October 1st of each year.

All content for special issues need to be peer-reviewed according to the journal standard and final versions of all manuscripts should be approved by the main Editor. It is however recommended that the Special Issue Editor is directly involved in the review process.

Please provide a thematic outline for the special issue of 500-1,000 words in addition to the information sheet. The outline should include a description of the theme, the recruitment process of contributors and the relevance of the special issue for Nordic Social Work Research.

Further guidelines on how to work with special issues can be found here: https://files.taylorandfrancis.com/rnsw-spissue-requirements.doc (Word version) or https://files.taylorandfrancis.com/rnsw-spissue-requirements.pdf (PDF version)

Please contact the Editors for requests and further information about the planning of special issues.
