Doctoral Research Journal

Perspectives on Social Work is a publication of the doctoral students of the Graduate College of Social Work at the University of Houston.

Since that time, the journal has expanded and now accepts submissions from social work doctoral students nationwide and internationally.

The primary mission of Perspectives on Social Work is to provide opportunity to students to enhance scholarly skills in writing, editing, and exposure to the publication process.

Scope
