Focus and Scope

Jurnal Komunitas Literasi is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes original research articles, reflections, and community-based studies in the field of literacy. The journal views literacy not merely as a technical skill, but as a social and cultural practice that empowers individuals and communities through knowledge, communication, and critical engagement. We provide a platform for scholars, educators, and literacy practitioners to engage in critical discussions about literacy development and practices across diverse contexts in Indonesia and globally, with an emphasis on inclusive, community-centered, and transformative approaches.
