The Journal of Community Service Based on Participation, Collaboration, and Social Innovation is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to publishing high-quality community service and community engagement studies that emphasize participation, collaboration, empowerment, social innovation, appropriate technology, and sustainable community impact.
The journal provides an academic platform for lecturers, researchers, students, practitioners, communities, government institutions, industries, and civil society organizations to disseminate community-based initiatives derived from various fields of knowledge. Particular attention is given to community service activities that integrate academic knowledge with the identification and solution of real community problems.
