Families in Society: The Journal of Contemporary Social Services (FIS), the first journal of social work research, has been published for over 100 years and has made an enduring impact on innovation and inquiry into the art, science, and practice of social work. A core journal in the field, FIS focuses on micro and macro practice that fosters whole-person well-being and helps individuals, families, and communities to thrive. Stewarded by Social Current (formerly Alliance for Strong Families and Communities) and published by SAGE Publishing, FIS was created by Mary E. Richmond in 1920 to capture the first systematized methods of social work. The journal has a long-standing focus on biopsychosocial and systemic factors that affect functioning, well-being, and opportunity across the lifespan. Included are analysis, theory, and investigation; quantitative and qualitative studies; direct-practice issues; and assessment of service delivery and management. Content might be explanatory, instructive, reflective, or provocative.
