Manuscript Type

The Jurnal Intervensi Sosial dan Pembangunan (JISP) publishes scholarly manuscripts in the fields of social sciences and humanities, with an emphasis on theoretical contributions, empirical findings, and critical perspectives that advance knowledge and understanding of social issues, social intervention, and development.

JISP welcomes manuscripts from academics, researchers, practitioners, students, policymakers, and other contributors whose work is relevant to the journal's focus and scope.

The journal accepts the following types of manuscripts:

1. Original Research Articles

Original Research Articles are the primary type of manuscript published by JISP. These articles present original findings from empirical research conducted using appropriate and scientifically sound methodologies.

Research may employ qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-method approaches, including case studies, field research, surveys, statistical analysis, and historical research.

Manuscripts should demonstrate a clear research problem, relevant theoretical or conceptual foundations, appropriate research methods, systematic analysis, and meaningful findings that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the social sciences and humanities.

Particular attention is given to research that provides theoretical, empirical, or practical contributions to understanding social phenomena, addressing social problems, and developing approaches to social intervention and development.

2. Review Articles

Review Articles provide critical and systematic examinations of existing scholarly literature on specific topics within the journal's focus and scope.

These manuscripts should offer more than a descriptive summary of previous studies. They are expected to identify relevant research developments, examine theoretical and methodological debates, synthesize existing findings, identify research gaps, and propose directions for future research.

Review articles may include systematic literature reviews, scoping reviews, integrative reviews, or other academically rigorous approaches to reviewing relevant literature.

3. Theoretical and Methodological Articles

Theoretical and Methodological Articles present substantial contributions to the development, examination, or refinement of theories, concepts, analytical frameworks, or research methodologies relevant to the social sciences and humanities.

Theoretical manuscripts should provide critical engagement with existing theories, develop conceptual arguments, or propose new perspectives for understanding social phenomena and development processes.

Methodological manuscripts should discuss, evaluate, or introduce research approaches, analytical techniques, or methodological innovations that contribute to the advancement of social science and humanities research.

All submissions must demonstrate academic rigor, a clear scholarly contribution, and relevance to the journal's focus and scope.

4. Scholarly Book Reviews and Research Summaries

JISP may consider scholarly book reviews and research summaries that provide meaningful academic contributions to the journal's readership.

Scholarly book reviews should critically examine relevant academic publications, assessing their theoretical contributions, methodological approaches, scholarly arguments, and relevance to contemporary issues in the social sciences and humanities.

Research summaries should present concise and academically grounded accounts of significant research findings, highlighting their contributions, implications, and relevance to the development of knowledge and practice.

Submissions under this category must demonstrate critical engagement, academic relevance, and a clear contribution to scholarly discussion.
