Manuscripts should be written in Bahasa Indonesia and formatted according to the journal submission guidelines.

Babakti requires authors to select the article type and comply with the article-type descriptions defined below. Authors must pay close attention to the word count limits.

1. Research Articles

More than 6000 words and not exceeding 9000 words, excluding references in the full manuscript. These articles present a conceptual framework and/or the application of community engagement programs such as community development, community services, community empowerment, community outreach, and action research. This type of article should have a deep theoretical framework and be more generalizable, not focusing only on single case studies.

2. Review Articles

Review articles comprehensively summarize literature on issues related to community engagement or community engagement programs. The total word count should be more than 5000 words and not exceed 6000 words, excluding references.

3. Case-Based Articles

Case-based articles, including technical articles and policy/practical articles, should be more than 4000 words and not exceed 5000 words, excluding references. This article type describes pioneer techniques likely to be useful for others practicing community engagement. It is suitable for a smaller number of case studies or a single unique or large-scale case study, with stronger emphasis on technical approaches and outcomes.

Abstract

The abstract should contain 150–300 words in one paragraph and should briefly provide information on the following elements:

Background Methods Results and Discussion Conclusion

The background should provide context and state the study objective or hypothesis. The methods should describe the necessary procedures, including study subjects, observational methods, analytical methods, and primary outcomes. The results and discussion should summarize the main findings, while the conclusion should state the principal conclusions and emphasize the new and important aspects of the study in the field of community engagement.

Article Contents

The manuscript should be divided into two files: 1. Title Page, containing the title of the article, authors’ names, affiliations, email addresses, author contributions, and acknowledgements; and 2. Full Manuscript, containing the title, abstract and keywords, introduction, methods, results and discussion, conclusion, and references.

The title of the manuscript should be clear, concise, informative, and limited to 15 words, including conjunctions. Subtitles, colons, and nonstandard abbreviations are not recommended.
