Manuscript Editing for Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal Articles
The Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal publishes original articles on social work practice with children, adolescents, and their families, including specific populations in special settings. It accepts theoretical, case study, historical, review, empirical, and meta-analytic work using qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods. Interdisciplinary work is welcome across interpersonal, group, family, organizational, community, policy, and international practice. Springer publishes it, and its co-editors-in-chief are at the University of Alabama School of Social Work.
Submissions are original research, reviews, or theoretical papers, and the editors set no word or page limit. Every manuscript states its implications for social work policy and practice with children and adolescents. References follow strict APA style with full DOI links, and notes are footnotes. The abstract runs 150 to 250 words, with four to six keywords. Review is double-blind, with a separate title page and no self-citations that reveal identity. Original research includes a data availability statement, and generative AI use beyond copy editing is documented in the Methods. Off the Grid Editing applies APA style and sharpens the statement of implications for practice. Submissions go through the Springer Nature submission system.
