Social Intervention Journal publishes original research on planned social interventions, including programs, policies, and organized actions undertaken by governments, private sector actors, non-governmental organizations, community-based organizations, and grassroots actors. The journal focuses on how such interventions are designed, implemented, and evaluated to improve social well-being, reduce inequality, and strengthen the capacities of vulnerable, marginalized, and underserved populations.

The journal welcomes empirical and theoretically grounded studies that analyze intervention processes, mechanisms, and outcomes through a clear social welfare perspective. Areas of interest include community development, Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives and their community welfare outcomes, public-private partnerships for welfare delivery, social enterprise and inclusive business as intervention tools, and policy interventions addressing poverty, exclusion, and structural inequality. Interdisciplinary contributions are accepted only when they clearly demonstrate analytical relevance to social welfare theory, intervention processes, and welfare outcomes.

The journal encourages submissions that are grounded in local realities while offering broader analytical value. It is especially interested in studies with significance at multiple levels: strengthening evidence and policy learning in Indonesia, informing comparative and regional debates across Southeast Asia, Asia, and the Global South, and enriching international scholarship on social welfare, social policy, and intervention studies.

The journal does not accept manuscripts that merely describe activities or programs without analyzing their intervention logic, implementation process, and welfare impact. Manuscripts focused mainly on organizational image, branding, business performance, or financial return, without a clear connection to social welfare outcomes, are outside the journal’s scope.
