The Irish Social Worker Journals
The Irish Social Worker Journals
The Irish Social Worker Journal is a peer-reviewed publication that advances critical scholarship, research, and reflective practice across the diverse fields of social work in Ireland and internationally.
Its aim is to foster informed dialogue by publishing high-quality research, practice insights, policy analysis, and theoretical contributions that strengthen the evidence base and promote social justice, human rights, and ethical practice.
The journal is intended for social work practitioners, researchers, educators, students, and policymakers seeking to engage with contemporary issues shaping the profession and the communities it serves.
As the journal has gone paperless, you can access previous issues of The Irish Social Worker Journal (from 1980 to 2025) here.

All the articles are available after six months on LENUS, open access repository for Irish Health Publications. This facilitates authors to disseminate their work to a much wider audience both in Ireland and Internationally.
