SIPAKATAU: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat requires authors to select the article type ancomplyy with the article-type descriptions defined below. Please note that not all article types are available for all specialties. Please pay close attention to the word count limits. Should you have any inquiries, please feel free to contact us.
1. Research articles
More than 6000 words and not exceeding 9000 words (exclude reference in the full manuscript, no word limit on the title page). The articles have to presenta conceptual framework, and/or the application of your community engagement programs such as community development, community services, community empowerment, community outreach, and action research. These types of articles should have a deep theoretical framework and be more generalizable, i.e., not focusing on single case studies
2. Review articles
The review articles comprehensively summarize the literature on issues about community engagement or community engagement programs. The total word count should be more than 5000 words and not exceed 6000 words (exclude references, no word limit the page).
3. Case-based articles (Technical Articles + Policy/Practical Articles)
More than 4000 words and not exceeding 5000 words (exclude references, there is no word limit limit the e ) that describe pioneer techniques likely to be of use to others that are practicing community engagement. This type of article is best suited where the focus is on a smaller number of case studies or a single but unique or large-scale case study. The article may be technique-driven, methodology-focused, or maybe an in-depth examination of a community engagement program, including monitoring, planning, implementation, or policy relevance of the case study(s). This type of article has a briefer introduction and less focus on theoretical frameworks in favor of a focus on technical approaches and outcomes.
Abstract
Insert your abstract text, a maximum of 250 words providing trial information under the following sections.
First, background. Provide context or background for the study and state the study's primary objective or hypothesis in 1–2 sentences. Describe shortly the theory review of community engagement that has been done. Also, mention and explain the theory that supports your research, especially about community engagement, community services, and community development. Furthermore, the Author may include a hypothesis (if any), which explains the expected result.
Second, methods. Describe the necessary procedures used during the study, including the selection of study subjects and observational and analytical methods. Define the primary outcomes that were measured for each group of subjects about the implementation of community engagement.
Third, results and discussion. Summarize the main findings, including specific effect sizes and their statistical significance, if possible. Include (if relevant) the number of participants in each group, the primary outcome for each group, and any significant adverse events or side effects. Also, please explain the previous research and the relation between your theory and your result.
Fourth, conclusion. In 1–2 sentences, state the principal conclusions, emphasizing new and important aspects of the study or observations on the issue of community engagement.
Keywords
The authors must provide a minimum of five keywords or phrases that identify the most critical concepts in their paper. Examples of keywords could include theoretical concepts, methods used, geographical areas, or common community development themes. Keywords are separated with semicolons (;).
Article Contents
SIPAKATAU: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat's manuscript should be divided into two different files namely as 1. Title Page (Title of Article, Name of Authors, Affiliation, Email, Author Contribution, and Acknowledgement); and 2. Full Manuscript (Title, Abstract and Keywords, Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, and References).
The title of the manuscript should be defined to help global readers understand. Hence, the authors must preferably avoid creating a title with some local meanings, such as: "Case study of (Local meaning) in City X or (Local Culture Meaning) in Subdistrict Y". In addition, the manuscript title in Full Manuscript should be clear, concise, informative, and limited to 20 words, including conjunctions. Subtitles, colons, and nonstandard abbreviations are unacceptable.
For authors that will submit the new manuscript to our system, please remove the name of the Author in Full Manuscript because our peer-review process is a double-blind review. The authors will be required to accept the Journal Publishing Agreement when submitting the manuscript to our journal. This agreement covers authorship, originality, and conflicts of interest.
1. Introduction
The introduction section contains an explanation of why the issues need to be researched (research significance) and all supporting data or scientific evidence based on personal observations or the results of other research studies. The formulation of this research problem is always based on actual conditions and objectively and scientifically. Community engagement covers the services to society, applying science and technology based on their field, increasing the capacity of society, and community empowerment.
There is no theoretical background section in this manuscript. But, you must input your theoretical background in the Introduction section. The theoretical background contains previous theories as the basis of research and the temporary hypothesis. The theory can be in the form of scientific articles, articles in journals, textbooks, or other sources of scientific writing. This theory will be used to provide the state of the art of your manuscript from research problems that have been proposed. In the context of community engagement, the theory that should be used primarily is the theory related to community engagement, community development, or community services. Other theories are still needed to solve the problem of research to support theories that are delivered after the theory of community engagement can be included as well.
After the theories are mentioned and discussed, you need to form a problem that shows why this manuscript is important, the existing gaps, and previous research, and you must write the purpose of the manuscript.
An example of the existing gaps and previous research statement is at the end of the Introduction section (after theories are mentioned and discussed). For example: "........ (summary of background)....... A previous research explained on ....... This research is limited on ........ Indeed, this research intends to ................. The purpose of this research that related to community engagement are .........".
2. Methods

The presentation of the research can be done with the help of tables, drawings/graphs, maps/plans, and schemes.
The result and discussion of your manuscript are also interconnected with the theory as well as the novelty of your manuscript about community engagement.
