Explanation

These writing guidelines aim to ensure that every manuscript submitted to Khidmati: Journal of Community Service maintains high academic quality while making a tangible contribution to society. Accepted articles must be based on community service activities conducted directly in the field, using a participatory and solution-oriented approach.

The article's structure is designed to systematically describe the community service process, from the background of the problem and the program's implementation methods to the results and impacts achieved. Authors are expected to present data and findings descriptively and analytically, linking them to relevant concepts or theories.

The use of up-to-date scientific references is highly recommended to strengthen the foundation of community service activities. Furthermore, authors should pay attention to linguistic aspects to ensure articles are widely understood by readers.

By following these guidelines, it is hoped that every article published by Khidmati will be able to serve as a scientific reference as well as inspiration in developing innovative, sustainable, and broad-impact community service practices.
