About the Journal

ACANITS Journal Thematic Networks in Social Work 

The National Academy of Social Work Research A.C. (ACANITS), aims to promote social research from the disciplinary approach of Social Work, in order to address the analysis of social problems and propose alternatives for intervention. In this perspective, disciplinary research favors the theoretical/practical feedback and the construction of methodologies that allow to generate answers to the micro social problems of the groups, families and localities with which it interacts.

Likewise, the theoretical discussion and the professional and methodological feedback addressed in the ACANITS Redes Temáticas en Trabajo Social, allows an approach between researchers, academics and professionals of the discipline of Social Work in the construction of theories and methodologies that strengthen the development of the discipline; because the theoretical and methodological approaches, rarely have been discerned in the discipline and the exercise of the profession, minimally involving academia and research in decision making, a situation that limits and unfavorably affects the development of Social Work.

It´s important to point out that the objective of the "Revista ACANITS Redes Temáticas en Trabajo Social" is to initiate and open a space for disciplinary discussion on the basis of knowledge and disciplinary practice, in a perspective of theory/practice interrelation. To this end, the Journal has four sections: in the first, articles related to the Discipline; in the second section, Research articles; and in the third, articles focused on the development and innovation of the object of study of Social Work, from an epistemological approach.

The articles that make up the Revista ACANITS Redes Temáticas en Trabajo Social, are reviewed by academic peers of great national and international prestige; the topics addressed are the response of knowledge to the new social problems faced by the various social subjects in emerging situations, where families, women, children and adolescents, youth, the disabled, the elderly, indigenous groups and other social sectors of the great cultural diversity of society, acquire a leading and strategic role.
