Jurnal Kewarganegaraan was first published in June 2004 in a printed version. The journal regularly publishes 2 editions a year in June and December. Since first published in September 2020, Jurnal Kewarganegaraan has been 33 times.

Jurnal Kewarganegaraan was first published online starting on Volume 17, Number 1 (2020): September 2020, with online ISSN 2745-6919. The online version of the Journal can be accessed through the Online Journal System (OJS) of Universitas Negeri Medan on the https://jurnal.unimed.ac.id/2012/index.php/jk page. Based on various careful considerations, we have decided that the Jurnal Kewarganegaraan is published twice a year, in March and September, since the first edition of the online version was published in September 2020. Consistently, the Jurnal Kewarganegaraan publishes at least 5 articles in each issue. The number of articles published in this edition can increase in response to contemporary topics, interests, and needs for disseminating science and technology.

The increasing interest in publishing articles in the Jurnal Kewarganegaraan has encouraged the editors to start Volume 20, Number 1 (2023): March 2023 by increasing the number of articles published to a minimum of 8 (eight) published articles. Following the development and growing interest of writers, researchers, and academics in publishing articles in the Jurnal Kewarganegaraan, starting Volume 20, Number 2 (2023): September 2023, the editors of the Jurnal Kewarganegaraan have increased the number of publications to a maximum of 10 (ten articles). In the future, the Editorial Jurnal Kewarganegaraan can increase the number of articles and even issues per year, in line with the increasing public interest and awareness in disseminating knowledge. 

Starting from the edition of Volume 20, Number 2 (2023): September 2023, the Editorial Board of the Jurnal Kewarganegaraan has also opened opportunities for writers to write articles in English. So the Jurnal Kewarganegaraan has accepted articles in Indonesian and English.

Although the online edition of the Jurnal Kewargaengaraan has begun to be published, we still publish the printed version of the Jurnal Kewargaengaraan, and it is no different than the online edition of the Jurnal Kewargaengaraan, which continues to publish scientific works in the form of articles on research results and scientific thoughts. Now, various credible and reputable indexing institutions have indexed the Jurnal Kewarganegaraan.
