Journal of Community Service (JCOS) is a peer-reviewed and open-access journal that publishes scholarly works in the fields of community service, community engagement, community development, empowerment, capacity building, and the application of knowledge, science, technology, and innovation to address identified needs and challenges within communities. JCOS provides an academic platform for lecturers, researchers, practitioners, community facilitators, students, institutions, and other stakeholders to disseminate evidence-based community service programs that contribute to strengthening community capacity, independence, welfare, resilience, and quality of life. JCOS PUBLICATION ORIENTATION Community Needs → Intervention → Community Participation → Evaluation → Measurable Outcomes → Practical Contribution → Sustainability Focus JCOS focuses on community service and engagement programs that are needs-based, participatory, evidence-informed, outcome-oriented, and sustainable. Manuscripts should clearly demonstrate the relationship between an identified community problem or need, the intervention provided, community or partner participation, the implementation process, evaluation methods, measurable outcomes, practical contributions, and program sustainability. The journal particularly encourages manuscripts that move beyond descriptive activity reports and provide credible evidence of how a community-service intervention contributes to meaningful change within the target community.
