Research on Social Work: where are we heading to?

Abstract

Does research in Social Work highlight aspects of concrete reality in order to offer an appropriate professional intervention in the contemporary social context? Through the present work, based on bibliometric research, we seek to elucidate aspects that allow a debate about the main characteristics of scientific publications of the journal Serviço Social & Sociedade in the period from 2010 to 2016. It was found that scientific productions in Social Work still allude to great theoretical contemplation with emphasis on the production of narrative reviews, without relying on specific aspects of social life to develop their analysis.

Keywords:
Social Work; Social research; Production of knowledge; Social worker
