A writing style that is used in the social work profession is APA (American Psychological Association). Using APA format is a great way to organize a paper. APA can be used in social work when you do research, interviews, and case notes.
When you cite references for social work using APA you put
the author, year, and title of the article. If you do not cite where you found
information it is plagiarizing. It is important to put the citations in
alphabetical order.
APA format helps make your paper neat and professional. To
learn how to write APA you can use "owl.english.purdue.edu". This
shows you how to cite many different genres of writing such as articles,
journals, websites, and books. According to "apastyle.org" APA helps to express the key elements of quantitative results, choose the graphic form that will best suit the analyses, report critical details of reasearch, and describes individuals with accuracy and respect.
Common writing tasks that a social work major will have to do is critical review of a book, article, or the literature. All of these will need APA. No matter what kind of writing you do as a social worker you will need to use APA.
Yes there are many other writing formats but each profession uses different ones for different reasons. APA is the best one to use for social work.
