Information For Readers

The Advances in Southeast Asian Studies (ASEAS, formerly known as Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies)  is a core project of the Society for South-East Asian Studies (SEAS) in Vienna. The journal’s editors invite both established as well as young scholars to present research results and theoretical discussions, to report about on-going research projects or field studies, to introduce academic institutions and networks, to publish conference reports and other short essays, to conduct interviews with experts on Southeast Asia, or to review relevant literature.

Articles have to be written in English. As an interdisciplinary journal, ASEAS intends to cover a variety of aspects of Southeast Asia (culture, tourism, geography, politics, society) from both historical as well as contemporary perspectives. Topics should be related to Southeast Asia, but need not be restricted to the geographical region, as in the case of – for example – linguistics, diaspora groups, forms of socio-cultural transfer, and so forth, where spatial and political borders of Southeast Asia are crossed or transcended.

ASEAS is published biannually as an online Open Access-Journal. The free-of-charge online Open-Access version is designed to address a wide interested public and international expert readership who are interested in single articles, but do not intend to archive all volumes.
