29 Int'l Soc. Work 3 (1986)

handle is hein.journals/intsocwk29 and id is 1 raw text is: Editorial Continuity and change are equally evident in this transitional issue of International Social Work. The journal continues under the official sponsorship of the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW), the International Council on Social Welfare (ICSW) and the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW). The purpose of these worldwide organizations is to extend knowledge and enhance com- munication across countries and continents in the fields of social policy, social development and social services. Within this context the journal emphasizes current trends, comparative analysis and cross-national research covering the delivery of services, the roles of social workers and the programmes of education for the social work profession. At the same time the current issue marks the culmination of a process of planned change for International Social Work. This change results from a study of the journal's operations and a decision by the spon- soring organizations to reorganize the editorial structure and to engage Sage Publications to handle marketing and publishing responsibilities. Editorial policy continues to rest with IASSW, ICSW and IFSW and has been delegated to an Editorial Policy Committee comprised of representatives appointed by the three organizations. This committee has in turn selected an Editorial Board with membership from around the world which is responsible for the content of the journal including the review of manuscripts submitted for publication. As the new Editor- in-Chief designated by the sponsoring organizations, I will chair the policy-making committee and co-ordinate the work of the board. Together we will strive to make International Social Work a publication of high quality and a principal source of the latest knowledge around the globe in social work, social development and social welfare. Change is reflected in the format and features of the journal. A new cover design and size contribute to an enhanced appearance, but of more significance is an expanded coverage of recent research and current literature, with a scope extending beyond any one nation. Articles reporting on cross-national studies and programme innov- ations with trans-national implications will be given particular attention along with comparative analyses of policy, practice and education. The Book Review section is being enlarged to encompass an increased number of newly published books in the international International Social Work (SAGE, London, Beverly Hills and New Delhi), Vol. 29 (1986), 3-6
