International Journal of Community and Social Development (IJCSD)

The International Journal of Community and Social Development is a quarterly, peer-reviewed academic journal published by SAGE Publications that serves as a global platform for high-quality research on community and social development. Founded in 2019 by Professor Manohar Pawar of Charles Sturt University, Australia, the journal aims to bridge theory, policy and practice by disseminating innovative research grounded in local community contexts and addressing broader social transformation issues. It embraces a multidisciplinary perspective, welcoming contributions from social work, sociology, development studies, public policy, education, anthropology, and allied fields. The journal’s content covers participatory action research, contextual case studies, empirical studies, conceptual analyses, and reflective perspectives that deepen understanding of how communities evolve, respond to challenges, and enact social change. Drawing on research and practice from diverse geographical settings, the journal emphasizes grassroots knowledge production, inclusive development, and evidence-informed strategies that inform both scholarship and practice. With a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, it strives to uphold scholarly excellence and relevance to researchers, practitioners, policymakers and community stakeholders working toward sustainable and equitable social development globally.
