To encourage and reflect research at the university, a journal, Island Studies, was first published in 2014. Building on this experience, Island Studies has been succeeded by a new publication, Seychelles Research Journal.

Seychelles Research Journal is an online publication with a rigorous refereeing process for scholarly articles. In the interests of sharing knowledge as widely as possible it is open access, making it free to all users.  There are two issues each year, in February and August.

The aim of the journal is to showcase research undertaken in and about Seychelles. While it is produced by the University of Seychelles, it includes articles and reports of research undertaken in other local institutions as well.  Boundaries are drawn loosely to include relevant research findings in neighbouring islands and other small island states.
