About Journal

Our Uniqueness and Mission

Community Empowerment is a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to disseminating and communicating the successes of community development programs to academicians, society, and industry. Compared to other scientific journals in the same subject area, Community Empowerment leads in publishing reports and documentation on the downstreaming of expertise and/or research results to address community issues.

This leading position aligns with our mission to provide information on community development, from scientific foundations to tangible prosperity, particularly in support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) programs. This contribution is driven by Journal's nature as a publication of an Indonesian educational institution, given that the Indonesian government is among the few worldwide that mandates academicians to publish their community development outcomes.

Community Empowerment is committed to preserving its scholarly articles, ensuring their long-term availability and accessibility. To achieve this, the journal employs multiple archiving services. This includes Garuda (Garba Rujukan Digital), which digitally preserves a full copy of the journal's content.

Furthermore, Community Empowerment actively participates in the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) systems. These initiatives create a distributed filing system among participating libraries, allowing them to establish permanent journal archives for preservation and restoration purposes. This robust archiving strategy enables Community Empowerment to safely store and maintain digital copies of its articles within a secure and decentralized network, thereby guaranteeing their availability for future generations of readers and researchers.
