The Review of Indonesian and Malaysian Affairs was an Australia-based scholarly journal that ran from 1967 to 2014, dealing with "political, economic, social and cultural aspects of Indonesia and Malaysia.
[5][6] Indonesian teaching had begun at the University of Sydney in 1958, and ultimately led to the establishment of the journal, which was initially twice yearly.
[7][8][9][10] Initially a "very modest, cyclostyled publication issued by the Department of Indonesian and Malaysian Studies" [11] of the University of Sydney, the journal sought to "publish scholarly studies relating to societies and cultures, understood in the broadest terms, to be found in Indonesia, Malaysia and surrounding areas.
"[12] From 2003, the journal was published by the "Association for the Publication of Indonesian and Malaysian Studies which was incorporated in the Australian Capital Territory.
"[13] Notable issues were devoted to reviews on contemporary Indonesian politics from KITLV[14] and Reformasi era Indonesia and literature,[15] though the journal also struggled with the preference of Australian researchers to be published in the United States.
