Special Issue of Child Welfare<\/em> –\u00a0Improving the Use and Usefulness of Research in Child Welfare<\/h4>\n

Deadline: June 15, 2015<\/h4>\n

CWLA’s\u00a0Child Welfare\u00a0journal is planning a Special Issue on improving the use and usefulness of research. The issue’s goal is to assemble a collection of articles that consider how research is used in child welfare and provide examples of organizational strategies, structures, and alliances that embed research use in organizations’ ongoing efforts to promote the well-being of children, youth, and families. Policymakers, practitioners, and researchers have different responsibilities and prioritize different activities; these differences contribute to gaps between what is known by researchers and the knowledge used by public child welfare leaders, administrators, and supervisors. Fusing resources from research with the knowledge and experience of those leading services will advance the production and uptake of research, and ultimately benefit children and families.\u00a0<\/span>Prospective authors should write and submit an abstract that describes their article by COB on June 15, 2015. Abstracts should be 750 words, typed and double-spaced, and submitted to Rachel Adams,<\/span>Child Welfare<\/span>‘s managing editor, at\u00a0<\/span>radams@cwla.org<\/a>. Please use “Special Issue on Improving the Use and Usefulness of Research” as your subject line. Abstracts should clearly identify the topic of the article, the background and need for the article, the methodology used to address the topic, the use of research, and a brief statement about the application of the knowledge gained from the article.<\/span><\/p>\n
