The International Journal of Innovation and Public Administration (IJIPA) is a peer-reviewed journal that provides a dynamic platform for the dissemination of research and ideas on innovative approaches to governance and public administration published by PT. ACADEMIA NUSANTARA BERDEDIKASI. In an era of rapid digital transformation and shifting governance paradigms, IJIPA fosters scholarly dialogue on the application of novel public administration models and strategies to meet the complex challenges faced by governments worldwide. The journal publishes three issues annually, in April, August, and December, and is dedicated to the publication of high-quality, original research that advances theoretical and practical insights into public administration.
Scope of IJIPA:
1. Innovative Governance Models and Public Policy
This section explores topics such as bureaucratic reform, public policy and big data, policy process theory, policy transfer and learning, and collaborative governance.
2. Public-Private Partnerships and Collaborative Governance
Research on corporate social responsibility (CSR), the nexus approach to resource management, tourism governance and policy, and community empowerment are welcomed under this scope.
3. Digital Transformation and E-Government
This area focuses on public administration behavior, public organization, public services, and leadership in the context of e-government and digital transformation.
4. Dynamic Governance and Adaptive Policy Making
Articles addressing disaster mitigation and management, disaster communication, environmental policy and management, cultural policy and heritage studies, and energy policy fall under this scope.
5. Public Sector Leadership and Innovation in Human Resource Management
This section covers human resource management, public sector organization, organizational behavior, corruption and anti-corruption measures, policy analysis, and public service innovation.
IJIPA encourages submissions from scholars and practitioners in the fields of public administration, governance, and policy-making. The journal welcomes interdisciplinary research that connects theory and practice, and particularly values contributions that offer comparative perspectives or present novel frameworks for understanding governance challenges in different contexts.
If the submitted manuscript does not adhere to the guidelines or uses a different format, it will be rejected before being reviewed by the editorial staff. The editorial staff will only accept a manuscript that adheres to the formatting specifications.
IJIPA is an open-access journal and adheres to a rigorous peer-review process. All submissions must be made through the IJIPA online submission system, and we do not accept submissions via email.
PEER REVIEW PROCESS
Peer reviewers provide objective, timely, and constructive assessments that help strengthen manuscripts and inform editorial decisions. Your report should identify a manuscript’s contributions, critically appraise its weaknesses, and offer precise recommendations for improvement.
Peer reviewers are expected to deliver objective, timely, and constructive assessments that (i) strengthen manuscripts and (ii) inform editorial decisions. Before accepting an invitation, please confirm:
Subject-matter expertise – If the topic is outside your field, promptly decline and, where possible, suggest alternative reviewers.
Availability – IJIPA requires reviews within 14 days; if additional time is needed, notify the editor immediately.
Conflicts of interest – Disclose any financial, institutional, or personal relationships that could compromise—or appear to compromise—your impartiality. The editor will advise whether you should proceed.
All manuscripts and reviews are strictly confidential. Do not share or cite their contents prior to publication, and discuss them with colleagues only after obtaining the editor’s explicit permission.
Record two distinct narratives in the journal’s online system:
Confidential comments to the editor – overall appraisal, ethical concerns, and a recommended decision (Accept │ Minor Revision │ Major Revision │ Reject).
Comments to the author(s) – numbered, section-by-section feedback that is specific, evidence-based, and respectful.
In both narratives, identify strengths, note shortcomings, and provide clear suggestions for improvement.
