Since the beginning of 2017, JSEALS has been published through the University of Hawai'i Press and posted on the JSEALS page of the UH Press website. All editions of JSEALS from 10.1 on are available at that site, and links are provided in this site as well, including both the journal articles and Special Publications. JSEALS is a free open-access journal which employs a double-blind-review process for research articles.
JSEALS is the peer-reviewed open-access electronic Journal of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society, devoted to publishing research on the languages of greater Mainland and Insular Southeast Asia. Covering a region of extraordinary linguistic diversity, JSEALS features articles on the languages of Southeast Asia, including Austroasiatic, Austronesian, Hmong-Mien, Tibeto-Burman and Tai-Kadai. JSEALS welcomes contributions written in English that deal with theoretical and descriptive linguistic issues (as opposed to cultural or anthropological topics, and not language acquisition or language teaching methodology) which further the lively debate that characterizes the annual SEALS conferences held since 1991.
Topics may include theoretical, descriptive, or historical linguistics, dialectology, sociolinguistics, anthropological linguistics, and applied linguistics involving language planning and policy, orthography development, and so on (but not language pedagogy or acquisition)), among other areas of linguistics of languages of Southeast Asia. JSEALS also admits data papers, reports, notes, and reviews of books subject to an internal review process.
Submission is open to all, regardless of participation in SEALS meetings. Each original article submitted as a research article undergoes double-blind review by two specialists, including a member of the Advisory Board and/or one or more independent referees. There is no fee for publishing in JSEALS, and JSEALS articles are published as Open Access works. We are grateful for reviewers' assistance in ensuring the quality of our publications. If you wish to submit your work or have any queries about submitting an article, please send an email to sealsandjseals@gmail.com.
