Although the author agrees that refereed journals play a key role in knowledge dissemination, Pardeck and Meinert only look at a small piece of the problem. Missing is the politics of how social work research is judged worthy of dissemination. The response examines how social work organizations promote scholarship that is political rather than content driven. The author argues that the latent role of the SocialWork editorial board is political gatekeeping, keeping out ideas that threaten the ideology of the social work profession. This is done by not providing a welcome environment or a fair hearing for research that contradicts the ideological assumptions of the profession. The result is a lack of intellectual diversity in Social Work.
