1. Research articles

More than 6000 words and not exceeding 9000 words (exclude reference in the full manuscript, no word limit on the title page). The articles have to present a conceptual framework, and/or the application of your community engagement programs such as community development, community services, community empowerment, community outreach, and action research. These types of articles should have a deep theoretical framework and be more generalizable, i.e., not focusing on single case studies

2. Review articles

The review articles comprehensively summarize the literature on issues about community engagement or community engagement programs. The total word count should be more than 5000 words and not exceed 6000 words (exclude references, no word limit on title page).

3. Case-based articles (Technical Articles + Policy/Practical Articles)

More than 4000 words and not exceeding 5000 words (exclude references, there is no word limit on the title page) that describe pioneer techniques likely to be of use to others that are practicing community engagement. This type of article is best suited where the focus is on a smaller number of case studies or a single but unique or large-scale case study. The article may be technique-driven, methodology-focused, or maybe an in-depth examination of a community engagement program, including monitoring, planning, implementation, or policy relevance of the case study(s). This type of article has a briefer introduction and less focus on theoretical frameworks in favor of a focus on technical approaches and outcomes.
