The Use of Electronic Scholarly Periodicals in Social Work Education

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the findings of a survey focused on elucidating the attributes, merits, and utilization of electronic scholarly journals in the context of social work education. The theoretical underpinning of this study centers on the recognition of knowledge as a fundamental right and underscores the contemporary societal and educational significance of free knowledge access. Data for this research was collected through two distinct questionnaires, one administered to students (n=115) and the other to educators (n=32). The analysis of the data reveals that students exhibit a noteworthy proclivity for employing electronic periodicals in their current academic endeavors, notably in the preparation of written papers and presentations, registering elevated usage rates. Moreover, the survey underscores that educators predominantly leverage electronic scholarly journals with the dual purpose of enhancing their personal awareness of emerging studies, topics, and researchers, as well as for disseminating their own research findings. The data acquired unequivocally affirms the intrinsic value and inherent advantages of open access, cost-effectiveness, and expeditious dissemination in the realm of publishing and researching scholarly content online.
