Alternativas. Cuadernos de Trabajo Social is a refereed journal, using the peer-review system for external revision by experts in the field and methodology of the research. The publication standards adopted and applied are those detailed in the APA Publication Manual.
The objective of the Journal is to contribute towards the dissemination of original research, concept papers, practical experience, book reviews and technical notes, carried out in our country or internationally. Such studies may deal specifically with social work, social policies and the social services or come from other disciplines and professions in the area of the Social Sciences, which from a multi or interdisciplinary perspective serve to enrich and complement the discipline and professional practice of social work. Submissions must represent original, previously unpublished work (which is not being considered for publication in another journal) and written in Spanish, English, French or Portuguese.
Each issue of the journal is published in both a printed version and an electronic version
