Advances in Community Services Research (ACSR) respects the privacy of authors, reviewers, editors, registered users, readers, researchers, community partners, community participants, and other individuals who interact with the journal. ACSR recognizes the importance of responsible personal-information handling, confidentiality, security, and the protection of information generated throughout scholarly research, community-service reporting, peer review, and publication.

Personal and journal information is processed where reasonably necessary for scholarly publishing, manuscript submission, editorial management, independent peer review, author communication, community-service documentation, post-acceptance administration, formal publication, technical operation, security, recordkeeping, digital preservation, research-integrity procedures, and official journal communication.

ACSR seeks to collect and process information appropriate to the relevant journal function while protecting confidential manuscripts, personal information, author-identifying records, reviewer identities, unpublished research, community-participant information, community-partner documentation, editorial correspondence, and other information not intended for public disclosure.

Privacy Principle: ACSR does not sell personal information to advertisers, data brokers, or unrelated third parties for commercial marketing purposes.

Depending on an individual's role and interaction with ACSR, information may include names, email addresses, institutional affiliations, countries, academic profiles, ORCID identifiers, research interests, reviewer expertise, community-service expertise, user-account information, professional correspondence, and other information reasonably required for legitimate journal operations.

ACSR maintains two OJS editorial sections: Article, which accepts Research Paper and Literature Review Paper manuscripts, and Community Partnerships and Impacts, which accepts Community Service Article manuscripts. Information is processed according to the submission requirements, evaluation procedures, and legitimate publication responsibilities associated with each section.

For manuscript processing, ACSR may handle Blinded Manuscripts, separate Title Pages & Author Information Forms, supplementary materials, authorship information, CRediT contribution statements, funding declarations, conflicts of interest, ethics and consent information, community-partner and organizational permissions, Data Availability Statements, acknowledgements, Generative AI disclosures, reviewer reports, editorial decisions, author responses, revised manuscripts, and publication-production records.

Manuscript Submission & Editorial Evaluation: Information is used to manage manuscript submissions, initial editorial screening, section-specific manuscript classification, independent peer review, author revisions, final academic editorial decisions, and official manuscript-workflow records.

Scholarly & Administrative Communication: Contact information and relevant correspondence may be used for communication among authors, reviewers, academic editors, journal administrators, production personnel, community partners where appropriate, and other authorized participants involved in legitimate journal functions.

Authorship & Publication Verification: Information may be processed to verify author names, institutional affiliations, ORCID identifiers, corresponding-author details, CRediT contributions, funding disclosures, ethics and consent information, permissions, conflicts of interest, and other declarations required for responsible scholarly and community-service publication.

Account & Editorial Record Management: The journal may maintain user accounts, manuscript histories, editorial correspondence, reviewer assignments, review reports, author responses, revision files, editorial decisions, and other records necessary for accountable journal administration.

Community-Service Information: Community Service Article submissions may include information concerning community-service activities, participating institutions, community partners, implementation locations, participant involvement, evaluation procedures, outcomes, and supporting documentation. Personal or sensitive information must be handled according to applicable consent, confidentiality, privacy, research-ethics, and publication requirements.

Publication Production & Metadata: Information may be used for copyediting, proofreading, production, DOI registration, bibliographic metadata preparation, author identification, and formal publication of an authoritative Version of Record.

Post-Acceptance Financial Administration: Where applicable, institutional-affiliation verification, APC eligibility, full-waiver assessment, reviewer-recognition discount verification, official invoicing, payment confirmation, and related publication administration may be conducted following final scientific-editorial acceptance.

Scholarly Discovery & Preservation: Appropriate publication information may be processed or distributed to support DOI registration, citation linking, indexing, scholarly discovery, institutional repositories, digital preservation, and the long-term accessibility of published scholarly and community-service records.

Research Integrity & Publication Ethics: Relevant information may be retained or reviewed when necessary to investigate complaints, editorial appeals, authorship concerns, research-integrity matters, suspected publication misconduct, corrections, Expressions of Concern, retractions, or other appropriate scholarly-record actions.

Technical Security & Operational Continuity: Information may also be used to maintain journal accounts, platform security, technical reliability, operational continuity, troubleshooting, protection against misuse, administrative accountability, and accurate scholarly records.

ACSR requires authors to submit the Blinded Manuscript separately from the Title Page & Author Information Form. This separation applies to submissions in both OJS editorial sections and supports the journal's double-anonymous peer-review process by preventing unnecessary disclosure of author-identifying information during independent scholarly or community-service evaluation.

The Title Page may include author names, institutional affiliations, email addresses, ORCID identifiers, corresponding-author information, CRediT contributions, funding information, conflicts of interest, ethics or consent declarations, Data Availability Statements, acknowledgements, Generative AI disclosures, community-partner permissions, relevant institutional authorizations, and other author confirmations or publication declarations.

Author-identifying Title Page information is not ordinarily provided to independent reviewers during double-anonymous peer review. Authorized academic editors and appropriate journal personnel may access relevant information when reasonably necessary for authorship verification, administrative processing, research-integrity assessment, ethical verification, editorial decision-making, and preparation of the scholarly publication record.

Non-Public Information: Submission of information through the Title Page does not mean that every item is intended for public release. Administrative contact details, private telephone or WhatsApp information, internal editorial records, confidential ethics documentation, community-participant records, permissions, unpublished supporting materials, and other non-public information are not automatically disclosed through article publication or public metadata registration.

Information intended for public scholarly attribution and reporting must be distinguished from information collected only for identity verification, editorial administration, confidentiality protection, ethical compliance, and other legitimate non-public journal purposes.

Once an article is formally published, information such as author names, institutional affiliations, ORCID identifiers, article titles, abstracts, keywords, corresponding-author information where appropriate, funding declarations, CRediT contributions, applicable publication statements, formal publication dates, volume and issue information, DOI, copyright and license details, and other bibliographic metadata may become part of the public scholarly record.

Published article records may identify the applicable OJS editorial section, including Article or Community Partnerships and Impacts, and the appropriate manuscript classification. This information supports transparent scholarly identification, bibliographic consistency, citation, and research discovery.

The specific information made publicly available depends on applicable scholarly, ethical, bibliographic, licensing, and publication requirements. Confidential editorial information, private administrative details, sensitive ethics documentation, protected community-participant information, reviewer identities, and other confidential supporting information are not automatically included in public article metadata.

Published scholarly metadata may be distributed to DOI registration services, indexing and discovery systems, scholarly databases, academic libraries, institutional and disciplinary repositories, search engines, citation services, metadata aggregators, and digital preservation systems. Such distribution supports scholarly identification, citation, provenance, discoverability, interoperability, research visibility, and long-term scholarly-record integrity.

Once formally published and distributed through scholarly infrastructure, bibliographic information may remain publicly accessible as part of the permanent scholarly record. Requests to correct such information must be evaluated according to applicable privacy obligations and the need for accurate attribution, scholarly accountability, publication integrity, and transparent recordkeeping.

ACSR applies double-anonymous peer review to manuscripts submitted through both OJS editorial sections. Manuscripts, Title Pages, reviewer identities, reviewer reports, editorial correspondence, editorial deliberations, unpublished data, community-participant information, author information, and other non-public materials generated or received during manuscript evaluation must be treated as confidential.

The Article section accepts Research Paper and Literature Review Paper manuscripts using the standard scholarly review form. The Community Partnerships and Impacts section accepts Community Service Article manuscripts using the dedicated review form containing 11 assessment components.

Editors and reviewers must not disclose, distribute, reproduce, or use confidential manuscript materials for unauthorized personal, professional, commercial, competitive, publication, or research purposes. Confidentiality obligations apply to manuscript content, supplementary files, reviewer comments, unpublished findings, community-service records, administrative information, and internal editorial communications.

Reviewers must not contact authors directly in connection with confidential manuscript evaluation, attempt to identify anonymized authors, disclose protected editorial information, or delegate review responsibilities to another person without appropriate authorization from the responsible academic editor.

Independent reviewers should receive the Blinded Manuscript and other materials necessary for the appropriate section-specific evaluation rather than separate author-identifying Title Page information. Access to confidential manuscript and editorial information should correspond to each participant's authorized responsibilities within the academic editorial process.

Generative AI & Confidentiality: Confidential manuscripts, unpublished data, manuscript extracts, identifiable community-participant information, author information, reviewer reports, editorial correspondence, and other non-public journal materials must not be uploaded to publicly accessible Generative AI systems or external automated services where confidentiality, privacy, data protection, copyright, intellectual-property rights, or appropriate information handling cannot be assured.

Where authorized technical or AI-assisted services are used for legitimate journal operations, the information provided should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for the authorized purpose and handled under appropriate confidentiality, security, privacy, and editorial procedures.

Generative AI or automated systems must not replace independent academic editorial responsibility, reviewer judgment, methodological or implementation assessment, scholarly interpretation, or the journal's research-integrity requirements. Authorized editors and reviewers remain accountable for their scholarly judgments and the confidentiality of materials entrusted to them.

Information may be accessed or processed by authorized academic editors, reviewers, journal administrators, production personnel, technical administrators, hosting providers, publishing-service providers, DOI and persistent-identifier services, scholarly metadata infrastructures, preservation systems, and other relevant service providers where such processing is reasonably necessary for legitimate journal operations.

ACSR seeks to limit information access according to the relevant journal function and the responsibilities of authorized participants. Author-identifying information, confidential peer-review materials, community-service documentation, personal participant information, administrative records, payment information, and data intended for public scholarly dissemination should be handled with appropriate distinctions and safeguards.

Where community-service manuscripts involve identifiable individuals, sensitive community information, photographs, participant records, or information supplied by community partners, the handling and possible publication of those materials must respect applicable permissions, confidentiality, research-ethics requirements, participant consent, and data-protection obligations.

The ACSR journal platform and associated hosting infrastructure may process technical information such as browser or device details, technical identifiers, access times, session information, authentication records, and server logs. These records may support website operation, user authentication, technical troubleshooting, account administration, traffic analysis, security monitoring, and protection against misuse.

Data Security: ACSR and its publisher, Yayasan Pendidikan Bukhari Dwi Muslim, seek to apply reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect journal information against unauthorized access, modification, disclosure, loss, destruction, or misuse.

No online information system can guarantee absolute security. Registered users should protect their account credentials, avoid unnecessary disclosure of confidential journal materials, and report suspected unauthorized access, compromised accounts, or relevant technical-security concerns through the official ACSR communication channels.

Following final scientific-editorial acceptance, ACSR may verify and process information required for post-acceptance administration, copyediting, proofreading, production, scholarly metadata verification, DOI registration, preparation of the authoritative Version of Record, archiving, digital preservation, and formal publication.

This information may include author names, institutional affiliations, ORCID identifiers, corresponding-author details, CRediT contributions, funding information, conflicts of interest, acknowledgements, Data Availability Statements, ethics or consent information, Generative AI disclosures, copyright and licensing information, author declarations, community-service documentation where relevant, and other publication metadata required for responsible scholarly dissemination.

For manuscripts subject to an Article Processing Charge (APC), relevant administrative information may include institutional-affiliation verification, APC eligibility, full-waiver status, eligible reviewer-discount verification, official invoices, payment confirmation, refund-related records, and other information reasonably necessary for applicable post-acceptance publication administration.

APC and Waiver Administration: The applicable financial framework is determined under the official ACSR APC Policy and applies to both OJS editorial sections. APC or waiver administration begins only after final scientific-editorial acceptance. Information concerning applicable institutional affiliations is used for authorized APC or waiver assessment, while eligible reviewer-recognition discounts are subject to administrative verification.

Administrative Separation: APC eligibility, waiver assessments, reviewer-discount verification, official invoices, payment records, and financial-administrative correspondence are handled under applicable post-acceptance procedures. These matters remain separate from independent peer-review evaluation, reviewer recommendations, and scientific-editorial decision-making.

Post-acceptance verification and production activities should preserve the accuracy of author and institutional information, required declarations, research and community-service integrity documentation, scholarly metadata, and the formally accepted manuscript. Administrative processing does not independently authorize unsupported changes to substantive research findings, community-service outcomes, interpretations, authorship, or other material scholarly information.

Personal, academic editorial, administrative, technical, financial, community-service, and publication information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for journal operations, scholarly publishing, security, recordkeeping, research integrity, dispute resolution, digital preservation, and maintenance of the permanent scholarly record, taking account of applicable legal and institutional responsibilities.

Individuals may contact ACSR regarding inaccurate personal information, account details, or other reasonable privacy concerns. Requests for information access, correction, deletion where applicable, or other appropriate action are considered according to relevant legal requirements and the journal's legitimate editorial, administrative, security, technical, contractual, and scholarly-record responsibilities.

Where appropriate and technically feasible, inaccurate non-public personal information may be corrected through authorized administrative procedures. Certain confidential editorial, manuscript-processing, and publication records may require continued retention to support accountability, research-integrity procedures, dispute resolution, and the provenance of the scholarly publication process, subject to applicable legal obligations.

Information forming part of a formally published article or its authoritative scholarly metadata may not always be appropriate for deletion. Published author information, bibliographic records, citation information, DOI metadata, and other essential details may need to remain available to preserve the accuracy and traceability of the scientific record, consistent with applicable legal and privacy requirements.

When published content or metadata requires a substantive correction, ACSR may use an appropriate formal correction, editorial notice, Expression of Concern, retraction, or other transparent scholarly-record mechanism rather than silently altering, concealing, or removing information necessary for citation history, scientific accountability, and research integrity.

The official ACSR website may provide links to external services such as DOI registration platforms, ORCID, indexing and discovery databases, scholarly repositories, citation services, research-information systems, institutional websites, academic search engines, and other independently operated scholarly resources.

These external services may operate under their own technical, security, account-management, and privacy practices. The ACSR Privacy Statement governs information handled through applicable ACSR journal operations and does not independently govern the privacy practices of unrelated third-party services.

ACSR is not responsible for independently operated third-party privacy practices beyond the journal's applicable obligations and arrangements. Users are encouraged to consult the relevant privacy statements and terms of external services when accessing third-party websites, research platforms, or scholarly infrastructure.

Policy Updates: This Privacy Statement may be revised when journal workflows, technical infrastructure, publishing services, metadata practices, security measures, applicable privacy requirements, or information-handling arrangements change. The version published on the official ACSR website represents the journal's current public privacy information.

Updates to journal privacy procedures do not automatically erase, invalidate, or authorize undocumented changes to legitimate historical editorial decisions, completed manuscript records, formally published articles, bibliographic metadata, or other established elements of the scholarly record.

Questions concerning this Privacy Statement, personal information, journal accounts, author or reviewer data, community-participant information, confidentiality, editorial records, publication metadata, data-security concerns, or other privacy-related matters may be directed to the official ACSR Editorial Office.

Privacy & Administrative Contact: Muslim Muslim, Managing Editor, coordinates relevant inquiries concerning privacy requests, journal-account information, editorial data, administrative records, publication metadata, and other information-handling matters through the journal's authorized procedures.

Academic Editorial Oversight: Matters involving substantive scientific-editorial questions, research integrity, authorship disputes, or material changes to the published scholarly record may be referred to Muhammad Ridwan Manulusi, Editor-in-Chief, through the journal's authorized editorial procedures.

Email and WhatsApp may be used for appropriate inquiries and administrative clarification. Confidential manuscript files, reviewer reports, author-identifying documents, community-participant records, research-integrity materials, and other sensitive editorial information should be handled through authorized information-management and communication procedures rather than disclosed unnecessarily through informal messaging.

Authors, reviewers, editors, registered users, community partners, readers, and other interested parties may consult the relevant official ACSR journal pages for additional information about publication ethics, author responsibilities, reviewer confidentiality, community-service manuscript requirements, manuscript submission, and official journal communication.

ACSR is committed to handling personal, academic editorial, administrative, community-service, and publication information responsibly in support of legitimate scholarly publishing, independent peer review, research integrity, technical security, accountable journal administration, digital preservation, and accurate maintenance of the published scholarly record.

The journal seeks to protect confidential information, limit unnecessary disclosure, safeguard community-participant information, distinguish non-public editorial records from published scholarly metadata, and support appropriate privacy requests while maintaining the integrity of academic editorial decisions and the permanent scholarly record. ACSR does not sell personal information for commercial marketing purposes.
