Abstract
To honour the 20thanniversary of the Annual of Social Work, this paper covers its longstanding valuable influence, characteristics and developments. The paper analyses the development of the journal throughout the years by focusing on categories such as publishers’ role, financial sources, editors, reviewing process, publication dynamics, representation of the specific contribution categories, language, contributing authors, as well as presence and citation in many international abstract and citation databases. The paper underlines three developmental phases of the journal and the beginning of the fourth one. The authors use bibliometrics, content analysis and the analytical-synthetic method. Their analysis confirms that the Anual of Social Work very actively monitors scientific contributions in the field of social work and provides professional support in social work practice and in many other supporting professions.
