Human Service Organizations is a leading, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to current research and practice in nonprofit and public sector human service organizations.

Since 1977, it has provided timely and relevant research for human service managers, researchers and educators (originally established as Administration in Social Work).

Building on a history of social service management, social policy implementation, and organizational research, the Editorial Advisory Board seeks manuscripts related to contemporary management, leadership, and governance issues facing human service organizations.
