The capability of the state apparatus to write and publish scientific articles is an essential element in supporting knowledge management and strengthening data- and evidence-based development policies. However, the experiences and study findings possessed by these personnel are not always documented in the form of scientific articles that adhere to the structure and conventions of journal publication. This community service initiative aimed to strengthen the capacity of the Regional Development Planning Agency (BAPPEDA) personnel in Kudus Regency in writing and preparing scientific articles for publication. The activity was conducted in November 2024 through a participatory, practice-based mentoring approach spanning four sessions. The participants comprised 20 BAPPEDA personnel involved in planning, data processing, research, evaluation, and reporting. The stages of the activity encompassed needs identification, formulation of topics and article outlines, writing practice, review and revision, as well as manuscript finalization and an introduction to the publication process via the Open Journal System (OJS). Activity data were gathered through observation, interviews, documentation, and the evaluation of the resulting articles. The results demonstrated that the mentoring process successfully generated five scientific articles developed collaboratively by the participants. Beyond producing written outputs, the program provided practical experience for the personnel in organizing ideas, structuring articles according to scientific conventions, utilizing citations and references, conducting revisions based on feedback, and preparing manuscripts for the publication process. Step-by-step, practice-based mentoring serves as a highly relevant strategy to reinforce official capacity in documenting and disseminating knowledge derived from regional development planning experiences and activities.
