Research on Social Work Practice (RSWP)

Research on Social Work Practice is a leading peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing empirical knowledge about the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Established in 1991 and published by SAGE Publications, the journal plays a pivotal role in disseminating rigorous research that directly informs both professional practice and social policy in the field of social work. It emphasizes evidence-based evaluation studies of intervention programs and the validation of assessment methods used by practitioners in diverse settings — including individual therapy, family and group-based practice, case management systems, community interventions, and organizational management. The journal also publishes systematic reviews and meta-analyses that synthesize empirical evidence to guide practice and policy decisions. By focusing on applied research with clear implications for improving practice outcomes, Research on Social Work Practice helps bridge the longstanding gap between academic research and the real-world challenges faced by social workers. The editorial leadership of Bruce A. Thyer ensures high standards of methodological rigor and relevance, reinforcing the journal’s reputation as an essential resource for scholars, clinicians, educators, and policymakers focused on strengthening the evidence base of social work practice.
