Manuscripts must explain the initial condition of partners, the objectives of the activity, the implementation methods, the stages of intervention, the results achieved, and the benefits of the activity for the community.

2. Community Empowerment and Assistance Article

Articles discussing community empowerment or assistance activities aimed at improving the knowledge, skills, independence, capacity, or ability of the community.

Articles reporting the application of science, appropriate technology, innovation, educational media, or tools in addressing community problems, particularly in the health sector.

4. Research-Based Community Service Article

Articles presenting community service activities based on research findings, scientific evidence, or evidence-based practices applied to address partner needs. Manuscripts must explain the relationship between research findings and the community service intervention, the method of applying research results, the evaluation of activities, and the benefits of applying such knowledge for the community.
