Focus and Scope
Media Publikasi Promosi Kesehatan Indonesia (MPPKI) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original research and review articles in health promotion, health education, health communication, community empowerment, health behaviour, and health promotion interventions.
The journal focuses on the development, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based health promotion policies, programmes, strategies, and practices in community, healthcare, educational, occupational, industrial, tourism, and other institutional settings.
MPPKI welcomes methodologically rigorous manuscripts from Indonesia and other countries that make a clear and substantial contribution to health promotion research, policy, education, or practice.
The focus and scope of MPPKI include the following areas:
Research on access to, understanding of, appraisal of, communication of, and use of health information by individuals, families, communities, and populations.
Community participation, empowerment, capacity building, cultural approaches, local knowledge, social mobilisation, and community-based health promotion.
Health promotion policies, programmes, education, organisational practices, supportive environments, and health promotion interventions in hospitals and healthcare facilities.
Health promotion in educational institutions, workplaces, tourism settings, industries, government institutions, religious organisations, and other institutional environments.
Health communication, risk communication, social marketing, mass media, digital media, social media, mobile technology, and communication-based health promotion.
Health education, prevention, risk communication, behavioural interventions, treatment adherence, self-management, and community-based promotion related to infectious and non-infectious diseases.
Lifestyle-related health risks, reproductive health promotion, sexuality education, maternal and adolescent reproductive health, HIV/AIDS prevention, healthy behaviour, and stigma reduction.
Workplace health promotion, occupational health literacy, safety behaviour, worker wellbeing, healthy workplaces, and prevention of occupational diseases and injuries.
Health behaviour theories, behavioural and psychosocial determinants, health education, learning strategies, motivation, attitudes, perceptions, self-efficacy, social norms, and behaviour change.
Development, implementation, adaptation, evaluation, effectiveness, sustainability, and scaling of health promotion interventions at individual, family, community, institutional, environmental, and policy levels.
MPPKI publishes two types of manuscripts: Original Research Articles and Review Articles. Original Research Articles may use quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods designs. Review Articles must apply transparent, systematic, and reproducible methods, including systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and meta-analyses.
Every manuscript must demonstrate a clear and substantial relationship with at least one of the journal scope areas listed above. Its relevance to health promotion must be explicitly presented in the objectives, methods, results, discussion, and practical or policy implications.
MPPKI does not consider manuscripts that do not demonstrate a clear and substantial contribution to health promotion. Studies focused primarily on clinical diagnosis, clinical treatment, pharmaceutical efficacy, laboratory or biomedical experiments, food product formulation, or product development are outside the journal scope unless they include an explicitly designed and evaluated health promotion component. Clinical case reports, community-service reports without a research design, and narrative reviews without transparent methods are also not considered.
