Scientific Writing and Publishing in Social Work

Scientific Writing and Publishing in Social Work is an edited book arising from an intensive Three Day Residential Scientific Writing and Publication Workshop jointly organized by the Department of Social Work, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu and the Department of Social Work and Human Services, James Cook University, Australia during January 2013 at KKID, Coimbatore. This book is largely a collection of research papers from participant social work researchers with additional contributions from Australian and Indian social work students, academics and practitioners. This book offers a cross national cultural perspective in writing about social work research. It is an outcome of a productive collaborative research partnership which focused on mentoring students at the beginning of their research careers. The values of social justice and human rights connect the writings of these research scholars as they explore, with a new lens, a range of social issues such as child abuse, women's issues, prisoners' rehabilitation, adolescents' resilience, mental health, domestic violence, life skills education, disability, addiction and, more generally, frameworks for research and practice
