Indian Ocean Studies

Founded by Pierre Vérin, Études Océan Indien has been published since 1982, under the auspices of the Centre d'études et de recherche sur l'océan Indien occidental (CEROI), which became the Centre de recherche sur l'océan Indien occidental et le monde austronésien (CROIMA), now a learned society under the status of an association loi 1901.

It is a biannual, multilingual, thematic, peer-reviewed journal.

It publishes research concerning the countries of the Austronesian world (from Taiwan to Timor and from Madagascar to Easter Island) and the islands and shores of the western Indian Ocean (Comoros, Mascarene Islands, Seychelles and the ocean shores of East Africa), in the field of human and social sciences (archaeology, ethnology, history, linguistics, literature).
