Sažetak
The idea of starting a journal, in which primarily student papers will be published, came as a response to the question how to preserve the quality of student work and present it to public and thus recognize the efort that students invest in writing papers and their contribution to science and our profession. The Journal of Social Policy and Social Work is the first student academic journal in wider region, in the field of social activities. The journal is the result of enormous work done by the editorial board composed of social work students and considerable support from our professors. The journal, with financial support from the Faculty of Law, University of Zagreb, comes out once a year in print form and online at „Hrčak“ (Croatian online scientific journal portal). Here are the results of the survey about our journal. The questionnaire included a sample of 114 social work students (undergraduates and graduates) from University of Zagreb, Faculty of Law, Department of Social Work. 82% of respondents are informed about the existence of a student academic journal at the faculty and 53% of respondents had read or used it. The student perception of the usefulness of academic journal has been very positive. Majority of respondents agreed that the existence of the student academic journal contributes to the quality of education, and improves the image of the faculty. According to answers, journal is an important place to develop students’ ideas and potential and it is a valuable additional source of literature and contributes to the development of the profession and science. There are plenty of benefits with being involved in a student academic journal and we believe that those benefits and the results we’ve achieved will be an encouragement for students of other faculties to start their own student academic journals.
