Social Work/Maatskaplike Werk: Announcements

Social Work/Maatskaplike Werk: Announcements https://socialwork.journals.ac.za/pub The first edition of the Social Work/Maatskaplike Werk (SW/MW) journal was published in April 1965 by the Department of Social Work at Stellenbosch University. During the past decades, SW/MW consistently published four editions per year, with eight articles in each edition. These editions have been open access since 2014, hence freely available online to the public (see <a href="https://socialwork.journals.ac.za/pub">https://socialwork.journals.ac.za/pub</a>). The Journal is currently indexed by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) (South Africa), Scimago and Scopus, and is thus an accredited international journal. Moreover, SW/MW is regarded as one of the 50 social work journals in the world with the highest impact, as listed on the Scimago Journal and Country Rank, and is the only open-access journal on this list, besides subscription-based journals from North America and Britain, published by established international enterprises. This high regard as well the fact that SW/MW is an independent, not-for-profit publication managed pro bono by academics, demonstrates that the Journal is a unique academic and practice asset for the social work profession in South Africa. en-US
