Welcome!

We are an independent publisher of academic journals in social sciences, health, and human services. We also organise conferences and seminars in related fields.

Subjects covered include sociology, anthropology, political science and social policy, mental health, groupwork, and social work and care.

Decolonising Groupwork: Guest Editor Suryia Nayak
Our journal, Groupwork, is planning a special issue on 'Decolonising groupwork' to be edited by Suryia Nayak of the University of Salford. More details on the Groupwork home page. Abstracts are due by 30th September 2026.

Seminar: Peer reviewing for academic journals
Scholarly publishing is a community effort which cannot function without the support of competent peer reviewers. An understanding the review process is also essential for authors and current and aspiring editorial board members and editors.

We are running a Zoom seminar on peer reviewing at 4:00pm UK time on 15th June 2026. The seminar will be led by Dr Mark Doel.

Booking opens on 13th May when the booking link will be posted here. In the meantime, add this event to your diary. Places are limited, so early booking is advised.
