JIAL aims not only to provide for standard academic publication practices, but also to adopt an editorial policy that is able to target academic research results efficiently towards industry. Consequently, each new issue will appear in two publication modes: a pdf file format, accessible on-line or in print-on-demand mode will meet the needs for the presentation of academic content, while these more detailed papers will be complemented by extended on-line abstracts, aimed at directly informing all partners involved in the internationalisation and localisation industry.

The JIAL is a peer-reviewed international journal.
