The Journal of Assyrian Academic Studies (JAAS) was an academic journal, that covered studies related to the Assyrian people, including history of ancient Assyria, and general topics on Assyriology. It was established in 1986, under the auspices of the Chicago based Assyrian Academic Society. Original name of the periodical was: Journal of the Assyrian Academic Society. It obtained its current title in 1997. The journal has special significance for modern Assyrian community, since it is bilingual, containing articles in English and also in Syriac or Assyrian Neo-Aramaic language and script. Journal also includes academic contributions to the study of modern Neo-Aramaic literature and language. Latest annual number appeared in 2015. First editor-in-chief was Edward Y. Odisho.[1][2][3][4][5]
Some prominent scholars who published their works in this journal are: Robert D. Biggs, Sebastian P. Brock, Richard N. Frye, John B. Joseph, Geoffrey Khan, Estiphan Panoussi, Simo Parpola and Yona Sabar.[6] Researchers from the Center for the Study of Christianity, within the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, enlisted 83 (eighty three) articles from this journal into their "Comprehensive Bibliography on Syriac Christianity".[7] Library of Congress (Washington) has included this journal in their bibliographical list, titled "Assyrian Display Bibliography" (2016) placing the journal among selected titles that are relevant for research in the fields of Aramaic and Syriac language and literature. Italian National Agency for the Evaluation of the University and Research Systems (ANVUR) has classified this journal among selected scientific journals in their annual reportings, including the newest listing from January 2021.
As a bilingual publication, JAAS had double significance, both as academic (English sections) and minority (native literature sections) journal, as noted by the USA based Assyrian Arts Institute, reflecting on the importance of this publication as a minority journal: "Through journals such as Journal of Assyrian Academic Studies, Assyrian writers and poets have the opportunity to channel their voice and share their thoughts and achievements with the world".[8]
Name change and parallel editions[edit]
In 1997, new editorial board, under the editor-in-chief Robert Paulissian, decided to change the name of the journal from "Journal of the Assyrian Academic Society" to "Journal of Assyrian Academic Studies" (Herge Akadimaye Atoraye),[9] starting from the number 11 / 2 (1997), and continuing further under the new name. Responding to that, the Assyrian Academic Society (AAC) decided to create its own editorial board,[10] under the editor-in-chief Nadia E. Joseph, announcing (in the spring of 1998) new numbers of their own journal,[11] under the old name (Journal of the Assyrian Academic Society), and publishing numbers: 12 / 1 (1999),[12] and 12 / 2 (2000).[13] Thus, two parallel sets of editions were created, marking the transitional period from 1997 to 2000. The remaining set (Journal of Assyrian Academic Studies) continued to be published by the USA based "Fund for Modern Assyrian Studies".[14]
