The Journal of Integrated Economic and Community Partnerships (JIECoP) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes community-engagement scholarship with clear social and economic relevance. The journal disseminates evidence-based programs, applied studies, practice-informed conceptual perspectives, and innovative practices arising from community engagement activities, service-learning, and participatory action research.
The journal aims to bridge academic knowledge and community priorities by strengthening the economic and institutional capacity of communities, with particular attention to rural, peri-urban, and regional settings where development needs are most pressing and documented evidence is often scarce. JIECoP welcomes manuscripts that, where relevant, demonstrate collaboration within the Quadruple Helix model (government, academia, industry, and community) to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly inclusive economic growth and social welfare.
Within this focus, JIECoP welcomes contributions in the following areas, though not limited to:
Economic empowerment of micro, small, and medium enterprises, including digital marketing, product innovation, and business development.
Management of village-owned enterprises (BUMDes), optimization of village funds, and local economic diversification.
Entrepreneurship development, social enterprise, creative industries, and heritage-based local economies.
Community financial management, accounting for non-accountants, fintech adoption, and household economic resilience.
Community-based tourism management, eco-tourism development, and hospitality service improvement.
Corporate social responsibility and partnerships that build community economic independence and vocational capacity.
Transparency, accountability, and digital literacy in village and local institutions, and capacity building for community actors.
Technology adoption and community-based initiatives that support social and environmental sustainability through local economic activity.
JIECoP particularly values contributions that draw on local knowledge and potential, report measurable and verifiable outcomes, and offer lessons that other communities can adapt.
