Hello all,

European Social Work Research (ESWR) is a new peer-reviewed journal edited by Lars Uggerhoj (Aalborg University, Denmark), Ana M. Sobočan (University of Ljubljana, Slovenia) and Elaine Sharland, (University of Sussex, UK).

ESWR is dedicated to the development, practice and utilization of social work research. It will be the only Europe-wide journal to focus uniquely on social work research and its intended audience is scholars, students, practitioners, policymakers and other researchers who have an interest in social problems, social work and the contribution that social work makes to just and equitable societies. ESWR will be published in a partnership between Policy Press and the European Social Work Research Association. The first issue will be published online in April 2023, in time for the launch at ECSWR in Milan.
