社会工作研究在本质上是规范的，因此，社会工作研究中关于社会问题的假设应该接受审查和争议。但是，尽管研究人员经常面临争斗和巨大的矛盾，他们很少阐明这些问题。在这篇文章中，我们报道了一个小型研究项目，在这个项目中，佛兰德斯(比利时的荷兰语部分)的一群社会工作研究人员试图批判性地思考他们在社会工作研究中面临的一些问题和复杂性，更具体地说，在贫困研究中。我们的研究目的暗示，我们试图讨论在不同的研究项目中做出的选择，包括明确说明发生这种情况的理由。我们了解到，所做的选择，尽管看起来非常明显，但在不同的研究过程中往往是含蓄的。我们的结论是，社会工作研究要求研究人员努力实现一种透明的做法。这种透明做法的追求是指在研究社区中创造反身空间的重要性，以共同拥抱和讨论社会工作研究的复杂性。
Social work research is inherently normative and as such the assumptions about social problems in social work research should be open to scrutiny and contestation. But although researchers often face tussles and huge contradictions, they rarely articulate them. In this article, we report on a small research project in which a collective of social work researchers in Flanders (the Dutch speaking part of Belgium) tried to think critically through some of the questions and complexities they were confronted with in social work research, more specifically in research on poverty. Our research aim implied that we tried to discuss the choices that were made during a diversity of research projects, including making explicit the grounds on which this happened. We learned that the choices made, although they seem to be very obvious ones, often remained implicit during the different research processes. We conclude that social work research requires that researchers attempt to realize a practice of transparency. The pursuit of such a practice of transparency refers to the importance of the creation of reflexive space in research communities to collectively embrace and discuss the complexities of social work research.
