The journal also accepts studies utilizing qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches, provided they demonstrate clear relevance to community engagement and societal impact. It is published biannually, in April and October, ensuring the timely dissemination of rigorous and globally relevant scholarship that contributes to community empowerment, sustainable development, and social transformation.
