Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat: Humanity and Medicine

Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat Humanity and Medicine invites academics and practitioners to submit scholarly manuscripts detailing the implementation, outcomes, innovations, or evaluations of community service programs. We seek manuscripts that demonstrate a positive and tangible impact, such as community problem-solving, human resource capacity building, sustainable empowerment, and the improvement of the target community's living standards.

Our journal categorizes manuscript submissions into the following three types:

1. Community Service Article

   This category is dedicated to manuscripts documenting community service activities that have been systematically executed, produced tangible results, and possess accountable evaluations. The reported activities can be highly diverse, ranging from education, counseling, skills training, and mentoring, to the adoption of appropriate technology within the community.

   • Mandatory Substance: Authors must provide a detailed explanation of the problem analysis and partner needs, the primary objectives of the activity, the methodological approach used, the profile of the target group, the achievements attained, the evaluation results, and the benefits and implications for the community.
   • Manuscript Structure: Title, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Literature Review, Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgments (if any), and References.
2. Community Service Innovation Article

   This category focuses on reporting the design, implementation, and testing of an innovation used to serve the community. The innovation can take the form of appropriate technology products, educational tools/media, digital platforms, empowerment model designs, or new service strategies specifically addressing community challenges.

   • Mandatory Substance: The manuscript needs to outline the foundation of the innovation, its novelty and characteristics, the implementation steps in the field, the extent of partner involvement, the results of usage trials, and its sustainability potential for replication elsewhere.
   • Manuscript Structure: Title, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Literature Review, Development and Implementation Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgments (if any), and References.
3. Community Service Program Evaluation Article

   This category is intended for articles presenting a systematic analysis and evaluation of completed community service programs. The study aims to measure the smoothness of program execution, the level of community participation, the effectiveness of the offered solutions, the achievement of target indicators, and the long-term impact on the target community. Authors are welcome to use quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods research approaches, provided the primary focus remains on evaluating the community service program.

   • Manuscript Structure: Title, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Literature Review, Evaluation Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgments (if any), and References.
