Publication Processes in Social Work: The Miami Statement

We are pleased to post the Miami Statement (click here). This statement was created by a publication interest group at the 2005 SSWR Conference in Miami (hence its name). The Miami Statement is intended to describe some of the problems that plague the publication of social work research and to offer some ameliorative strategies. The Miami Statement was recently published in Social Work Research accompanied by and editorial by Jeffrey Jenson. We commend this interest group for stimulating this discussion of publication processes.

Although the development of the Miami Statement was independent of the SSWR Board, the Board also recognizes the critical need for improvement in publication processes. We seek to contribute to those improvements by convening a meeting of journal editors, publishers, SSWR Board members, and Interest Group leadership at the 2006 SSWR Conference. This event will be part of an ongoing SSWR initiative to improve the quality and timeliness of the publication of social work research.

The SSWR Board invites suggestions of specific ways that SSWR can act to improve social work publication processes. Email can be sent to rbarth@unc.edu.
