JSEALS:
In the past, the Mon-Khmer Studies Journal (MKSJ) served as the preferred outlet for the publication of articles related to Austroasiatic studies and for papers presented at ICAAL meetings. MSKJ was retired in 2016 after a run of over 50 years, and its role in Austroasiatic publications has now been taken over by the Journal of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society (JSEALS). Proceedings from ICAAL 7 have been published as a special issues of JSEALS and a combined proceedings volume for ICAAL 9 and ICAAL 10 is also planned.
