Focus And Scope

Focus

Journal of Social and Humanities Empowerment (SHE) is a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary journal focusing on community service, community empowerment, community engagement, and the application of knowledge, science, and technology to address community needs and improve community well-being. The journal publishes scholarly articles derived from the implementation, evaluation, development, and innovation of community service and empowerment programs across various disciplines.
Manuscripts should clearly demonstrate the target community, identified community needs or problems, implementation methods, community participation, outcomes or impacts, and lessons for sustainability or replication. Pure research articles without a clear community service or empowerment component are not the primary focus of SHE.
