Social Work Research Map
- Purpose: This study introduces the Social Work Research Map, an interactive website designed to improve access to scholarly publications in social work. The website provides users with access to a database of nearly 25,000 journal articles from 23 social work journals.
Methods: The social work articles were analyzed and structured into 40 thematic clusters using automated text analysis. The features of the platform are illustrated by means of a use case scenario in youth services.
Results: The website offers visualization techniques and filter functions allowing users to conduct independent searches on their target topics. Users can save individual search results, and an artificial intelligence-based recommendation system suggests similar publications.
Conclusions: The Social Work Research Map is a valuable resource for navigating the rapidly expanding field of social work research. Through the website’s comprehensive database and innovative features, users can easily explore and discover relevant scholarly publications in thePurpose: This study introduces the Social Work Research Map, an interactive website designed to improve access to scholarly publications in social work.
