The Journal of Social Work
Values and Ethics Manuscript Policy Manuscripts Submission: Proposed manuscripts should be emailed to Stephen M. Marson at smarson@nc.rr.com. Manuscripts must follow our manuscript format guidelines. Download the guidelines here: http://www.socialworker.com/jswve/jswvemanuscriptformat1207.doc Content: The Journal of Social Work Values and Ethics accepts manuscripts on topics that relate to its mission. (Please click on "Mission Statement" for details.) Length: Since The Journal of Social Work Values and Ethics is an online journal, length is not an issue. Manuscripts should be clearly and concisely written. Typically, manuscripts are between twelve and twenty double-spaced pages (not including references and tables). Manuscripts longer than 20 word-processed pages should clearly warrant the additional writing. Title, Abstract, and Key Words: All manuscripts must include a title, an abstract of approximately 50 words, and a list of five key terms that can be used by readers/researchers to find the published material. Copyright: All submitted manuscripts must be original and may not be published elsewhere. Upon publication, White Hat Communications becomes the owner of the copyright. Author(s) sign a form to transfer ownership of the manuscript. All accepted manuscripts will be published online. The publisher may, on occasion, also publish a collection of some articles in print form. Format: Manuscripts must be submitted in Word (or compatible) files, according to the Journal’s manuscript format guidelines. See our manuscript format guidelines at http://www.socialworker.com/jswve/jswvemanuscriptformat1207.doc for font sizes and instructions on attaching illustrations. If volunteers on the editorial staff must convert a file or make corrections to the formatting, publication will be delayed.
Style: All citations must be in APA style. Please check your manuscript, including references, for correct APA style and completeness. Please check the APA Publication Manual for correct spacing, punctuation, and other aspects of APA style. Also, please check to make sure that all references in your reference list are cited in the text, and vice versa. If volunteers on the editorial staff must make APA style corrections, publication will be delayed. Use Italics rather than underlining titles of books and journals. Tables, figures, and illustrations: All material included within the proposed manuscript must be compatible with an online presentation in HTML. Tables, figures, and illustrations should be submitted in separate graphics files (JPG or GIF) no more than 500 pixels in width. Since articles are published online, authors are responsible for specifically identifying the location of where such material is placed. For an example of placing a figure see http://www.socialworker.com/jswve/content/view/40/46/ . Review time: Every effort will be made to have articles reviewed within three months of the time they are received. Articles will be evaluated by at least three editorial board members.
