Introduction

  1. Study background. The writers must include empirical backgrounds and conceptual frameworks/backgrounds derived from reviews of pertinent prior studies published no more than five years ago to reinforce the background of the research or activity.
  2. Give a brief overview of the relevant literature, highlight the research’s uniqueness, and outline its goals.
  3. Discusses the real and factual issues, difficulties, or needs of the community about the research goals.
  4. Authors must justify how communities participate and interact with the program and activities of community engagement.

Methods

  1. Explain the approach to address issues, challenges, or the study’s goals.
  2. Data gathering methods (such as sample selection strategies, data collection tool validity, and dependability).
  3. Method of data analysis.
  4. The activities’ time, place, and length.
  5. Before programs or activities are conducted, and before achieving the desired outcome, authors must justify the condition or circumstance.

Result and Discussion

  1. Useful documentation emphasising initiatives for community empowerment.
  2. The minimum resolution for pictures or images with JPEG extensions (.jpg) is 300 dpi. To check the DPI, use image processing software.
  3. Without consulting the literature, results must be accurately presented and supported by an explanation. It is necessary to present original and significant findings. Numbers or tables must be used sparingly to demonstrate the results, if at all. In-depth analysis, conjecture, and data interpretation are found in the discussion section rather than the results.
  4. The authors must stress the need to analyse the situation before and after community engagement initiatives and activities are implemented.
  5. Using the context of current knowledge, the discussion must analyse the findings presented in the results produced. There must be a fresh viewpoint in the debate. Every supposition needs to be expressed explicitly.
  6. The analysis should be finished with an additional conversation about community involvement and the benefits that the community receives. If the writers also discussed the community’s embrace of innovation, that would be a nice addition to the content.
  7. Every table, figure, photograph, and graph included in this work needs to be referenced, accompanied by an analysis and/or a justification of its relevance to the community involvement programs and activities. Every table, graph, picture, and figure should be pertinent to the research.

  1. Provide conclusions of the discussion.
  2. Mention the impact and benefits of community empowerment activities.
  3. Provide advice for further community empowerment.
  4. Produce new findings of theories, postulates, formulas, principles, methods, models, or prototypes supported by research data.
