Journal Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat Terintegrasi (Journal DIMASINTEGRA)

DIMASINTEGRA, stands for Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat Terintegrasi, is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal committed to advancing the intellectual and practical foundations of Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat within the context of higher education. The journal is premised on the belief that community engagement constitutes a core academic mandate, inseparable from teaching and research, and should therefore be designed, implemented, and evaluated through rigorous scholarly frameworks. DIMASINTEGRA provides a dedicated forum for disseminating systematically documented community engagement initiatives that demonstrate conceptual clarity, methodological soundness, ethical partnership, and sustained societal impact.

Positioning community service as a form of integrative academic praxis, DIMASINTEGRA emphasizes the co-creation of knowledge between universities and communities, where academic expertise intersects with local wisdom, contextual realities, and participatory action. The journal welcomes interdisciplinary contributions that critically reflect on engagement processes, assess outcomes using qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method approaches, and articulate their implications for policy, pedagogy, and community development. To ensure accessibility and international visibility, DIMASINTEGRA accepts manuscripts in both English and Bahasa Indonesia. The journal is published biannually, with issues released in January–June and July–December.
