Research review

The objective of the research section is to promote the dissemination of information about research in the field of social work and related disciplines. Much research in our field, often relevant for action, is not readily available for social work educators and practitioners in Europe. Given the existence of a wide range of research, the EJSW editorial board has decided to include a regular section for presentations about research. We invite all educators, researchers and practitioners engaged in research projects to send us information about their research—whether a note on research in progress or a summary of recent research findings. Submissions will be reviewed by the editorial board and EJSW will regularly include a selected research study. As an initial contribution we are publishing a short article by Françoise Laot, outlining a current EC funded project to facilitate information sharing and dissemination across Europe.
