About the Journal

The International Journal of Research and Community Empowerment (IJoRCE) is a scholarly journal dedicated to advancing research and scholarly discussion related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Education, particularly in the fields of Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Education, and Community Services. IJoRCE welcomes scholarly works situated in local, national, regional, and international contexts, provided that they offer clear academic contributions and insights relevant to the broader scholarly community. The journal particularly encourages contextually grounded research that connects local knowledge, practices, challenges, and innovations with broader educational, societal, and sustainable-development perspectives.

IJoRCE accepts several types of manuscripts, including Original Research Articles, Review Articles (Systematic Literature Reviews and Meta-Analyses), and Comments and Criticism. The Comments and Criticism section forms part of the journal’s post-publication policy and provides a forum for scholarly comments, critical responses, and academic discussions concerning articles previously published in IJoRCE. Authors of the original articles may be invited to submit an Author Response or Reply, which will be published within the same section. This mechanism is intended to promote scholarly discussion, critical evaluation, transparency, and constructive academic dialogue after publication.
