Author Guidelines

Principle

JPKPM welcomes community service writing by lecturers, students, teachers, practitioners, village facilitators and community activists. The rules are deliberately flexible: what matters is that the work is real, clearly written and honest.

  • Participatory Action Research (PAR/ABCD/CBR)
  • Empowerment Case Study

Suggested structure

Introduction (the partner's problem and aims) — Implementation Method (partner, place, time, stages) — Results and Discussion (what was achieved, preferably with evidence of change) — Conclusion — Acknowledgements — References. The structure may be adapted to the activity.

Length and citation

About 3,000–8,000 words (flexible). APA 7th edition is recommended; other styles are accepted if consistent.
