Generative artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) are poised to significantly impact social work research. These technologies can produce high-quality written materials and support qualitative and quantitative data analysis with simple, plain-language prompts from users. However, they also introduce challenges, such as potential bias, data privacy concerns, and generation of misinformation. In this paper, we use a disruptive–disrupting framework to discuss the dual nature of generative AI and LLMs and offer recommendations for social work researchers and journal editors that include guidance around data collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination. Researchers must use great caution when deploying generative AI technologies, meticulously examining, verifying, and taking accountability for the text and analyses produced by these instruments. Likewise, journal editors will need to implement quality control procedures and ethical standards to guide and evaluate the use of these technologies in social work research. We consider the recommendations offered here as a point of departure for disciplinary conversations about the role of generative AI and LLMs in social work research.

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with significant impacts to daily life and diverse experiences of loss among college and university students. The aim of the current study is to describe social work students’ experiences of loss and grief following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and explore the ways these experiences may have differed by program degree, modality, and background characteristics. Method: A cross-sectional survey (N=354) administered with social work students across degree programs during April–May 2020 provided both quantitative and qualitative open-ended responses. We used a convergent mixed-methods design to merge inductively analyzed qualitative data and quantitative demographic and background data. Results: Key findings highlight students’ varied and compounded experiences of loss during the COVID-19 pandemic, with differences in loss experienced by program modality (traditional, hybrid, or online) and age. Conclusion: Findings suggest the need for social work education programmatic responses for students’ overlapping experiences of loss and grief from the COVID-19 pandemic and future academic disruptions, with particular attention to students of younger age and differing program modality.

T he peer-review process is critical to ensuring the quality and rigor of the work published by the Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research ( JSSWR). Peer reviews are the core of good scholarly publishing and a hallmark of all reputable journals. The peer reviewers listed here contributed their time and talents in 2022 to provide thoughtful, constructive critiques and encourage authors to produce their best written work. These reviewers have played a vital role in maintaining JSSWR’s high standards and commitment to timely dissemination of innovative research. Indeed, the time and effort that our peer reviewers dedicate to providing well-considered feedback on JSSWR submissions is a contribution not only to the journal but also to the social work field. The responsiveness of our reviewers has enabled JSSWR to maintain its commitment to high-quality, rapid review of manuscripts, with authors receiving a decision within 27 days of submission, on average. As a gesture of our appreciation to the referees who have given of their time and expertise, we would like to formally thank them for their service to the journal in 2022.

This article introduces a special section of the Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research devoted to the development and dissemination of antiracist research. Antiracist research is defined as systematic theorizing, inquiry, intervention development, and program implementation that exposes, rejects, dismantles, and/or remedies racism, colonialism, antisemitism, and xenophobia with the goal of promoting racial justice. Although the social work profession values social justice and acknowledges racial inequities, there is a paucity of critical discourse and scholarship on antiracism. Based on a 2021 Society for Social Work and Research preconference session, this special section describes conceptual models, antiracism interventions, methodological strategies, and recommendations for antiracist research. Articles include critical discourse on current evidence and methodologies used in antiracist research, challenges to sustaining antiracist practices in academia, dismantling white supremacy, and the implementation of antiracist principles in social work research. This special section also includes recommendations for developing and disseminating antiracist research, supporting underrepresented scholars, and retaining social work researchers who conduct antiracist research. The conceptual models, methodologies, and recommendations proposed are instrumental to developing and sustaining an antiracist research agenda in social work. Acknowledging our power, privilege, and positionality is critical to authentically advancing antiracism in social work research.
