Abstract

In the words of Lord Acton 'Learn as much by writing as by reading' the process of writing brings, indubitably lots of new learning and insights into academic circles. Academic writing helps researchers make public the insights thrown up by their studies, apart from facilitating readers focus on related areas of research. Not surprisingly, therefore research and publication go hand in hand and are pillars of higher education. Accordingly, Madras School of Social Work publishes a peer-reviewed journal, the Journal of the Madras School of Social Work (JMSSW), to support both research and publication in the field of social science.
