Aims

Disseminate Applied Innovation

Publish innovations and applied solutions that respond to community problems, supported by defensible evidence, feasibility considerations, and clear pathways for replication or adaptation.

Strengthen Community Empowerment

Disseminate community service and empowerment programs that demonstrate measurable outcomes, stakeholder participation, capacity building, and knowledge transfer to local actors or institutions.

Promote Ethical, Participatory, and Sustainable Practice

Encourage ethically responsible engagement, inclusive participation, and monitoring–evaluation approaches that strengthen accountability, sustainability, and long-term community benefit.

Advance Evidence on Implementation and Impact

Support implementation and evaluation research that explains how programs work in context, identifies enabling and constraining factors, and reports impact indicators transparently.

Authors are encouraged to report the community context, needs assessment, intervention/program design, implementation process, and evidence of outcomes (including baseline indicators when feasible), as well as sustainability and scaling considerations. Ethical safeguards (consent, safety, fairness, and respectful partnership) should be made explicit where applicable.

Scope

Al-DYAS considers community service articles (PKM) with outcome evidence, applied research reports supporting community solutions, innovation and product development papers, participatory action research, implementation and program evaluation studies, and systematic/scoping reviews on community interventions. Submissions should demonstrate clear needs assessment, transparent procedures, credible outcome/impact measurement, ethical compliance, and meaningful benefits for communities.
