Focus and Scope

DIMASINTEGRA focuses on the advancement of Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat Terintegrasi as a scholarly domain within higher education. The journal foregrounds community engagement as an integrative academic praxis that systematically connects teaching, research, and social responsibility through ethical, evidence-based, and sustainable partnerships between universities and communities. Emphasis is placed on initiatives that demonstrate conceptual grounding, methodological rigor, and clearly articulated social impact, rather than descriptive accounts of activities.

The scope of DIMASINTEGRA encompasses interdisciplinary community engagement initiatives that address complex social, educational, cultural, economic, technological, and environmental challenges. The journal prioritizes manuscripts that critically examine the design, implementation, evaluation, and scalability of community service programs, particularly those that reflect reciprocal knowledge exchange, contextual sensitivity, and long-term community empowerment.

Specifically, DIMASINTEGRA welcomes contributions in the following areas:

  • Integrative models of Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat linking education, research, and service

  • Health promotion, environmental sustainability, and disaster risk reduction initiatives

  • Monitoring, evaluation, and impact assessment of community engagement programs
