Academic publications in the form of textbooks, reference books, and ISBN-registered monographs play a crucial role in scientific development and institutional recognition. However, the academic community often faces technical writing and managerial publishing constraints that lead to the stagnation of research outputs. Therefore, this community service program aims to increase the productivity of academic publications while initiating a downstream ecosystem for applied research in higher education. The implementation utilized a practice-based learning approach involving 24 participants through stages of legal insight presentation, writing workshops, and intensive mentoring. The program's evaluation results demonstrated positive participant responses with 100% satisfaction, achieving tangible outputs in the form of manuscript drafts converted from tridharma reports ready for ISBN submission. Furthermore, the strategic impact of this mentoring is the initiation of an integrated "Digital Publishing Service Unit (Digital Press)." This unit, based on the Teaching Factory scheme and Print on Demand (PoD) system, is designed to transform the paradigm of academic output management from mere administrative documents into institutional assets with potential economic value. In conclusion, this mentoring program garnered positive feedback for facilitating the preparation of publishable literature while laying the foundational steps for the institution to build an independent publication ecosystem.
