About the Journal

Soziale Arbeit, founded in 1951, is an independent academic journal which addresses developments in the context of social work. It is one of the most important publication media in its field and is read by teachers, students and researchers in social work and social pedagogy as well as by professionals and managers from associations and institutions.

The journal’s aim is to promote professional development in social work fields by presenting methods and new concepts, in addition to subject-specific practical reports. In the ‘Rundschau’ (Review) section, information from all social fields is compiled. The ‘Tagungskalender’ (Conference Calendar) refers to important events, and the ‘Zeitschriftenbibliographie’ (Bibliography of Journals) lists current articles from professional journals.

Soziale Arbeit is published 11 times a year with an annual focus issue published as a double issue. All scholarly articles submitted for publication in the journal undergo a double-blind peer review process. The editorial board is supported in an advisory capacity by a professional advisory board consisting of individuals from associations, universities, politics and administrative bodies. The journal cooperates with the academic societies of social work from Germany (DGSA) and Austria (OGSA). All social work contributions are indexed in the literature database DZI SoLit.

"World Comparative Law / VRU" analyses developments in constitutional and public law in states and regions outside Europe and North America (in what used be called the ‘Third World’) as well as their regional and international integration. Founded in 1968 and inspired by the ideals of ‘decolonization’ and fair cooperation, the Journal also has a special interest in the entanglements between ‘Global South’ and ‘Global North’, including the presence of the ‘South in the North’. Looking beyond the surface of globalization, ‘World Comparative Law / VRU’ promotes scholarship that uncovers the particularities of legal configurations as well as their interdependencies in an interconnected world.

The journal seeks to publish theoretically and historically informed studies of law in context, but is equally open to contributions from social sciences and from practitioners. It has a particular interest in analyses that compare several legal orders but is equally attentive to studies in international law and its impact on Asia, Africa and Latin America as well as comparative international law.

“World Comparative Law / VRU" addresses authors and readers on all world regions and aims to serve as a forum of mutual exchange. It publishes research articles, shorter reports about current events or conferences as well as book reviews.

All manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer-review. The journal is published quarterly and welcomes contributions in English, and exceptionally in German, Spanish and French.
