History
H. H. Rowley was notably the editor of the Journal of Semitic Studies from 1956 to 1960 along with Pinkas Rudolf Weis.{{cite web|title= Rowley, Harold Henry|publisher=Dictionary of Welsh Biography|url=https://biography.wales/article/s2-ROWL-HEN-1890|accessdate=20 August 2015}} The role was picked up after Rowley's death by Joseph E. Lowry as editor from 1961.
Supplement
From 1993 to date the Society publishes a Supplement series of books.{{cite web|title= Journal of Semitic Studies publication |publisher=OxfordJournals.org |url=http://www.oxfordjournals.org/semitj/book_suppl_series.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051019222504/http://www.oxfordjournals.org/semitj/book_suppl_series.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=19 October 2005|accessdate=27 October 2015}} The rationale is to give scope for larger treatments of subject than is possible in the context of a journal.
