きよう
noun
(academic) bulletin; university journal; proceedings
1. (academic) bulletin; university journal; proceedings
A scholarly periodical published by a university, research institute, or academic society, collecting research articles by its members. Often includes work that may be more exploratory or local in scope than articles in peer-reviewed international journals.

論文(ろんぶん)を紀要(きよう)に投稿(とうこう)する。
To submit a paper to an academic bulletin.
研究(けんきゅう)の成果(せいか)を所属(しょぞく)大学(だいがく)の紀要(きよう)に掲載(けいさい)してもらうことになった。

Composed of 紀(き) (record, chronicle) and 要(よう) (important, essential matter). In modern Japanese academic life, 紀要(きよう) refers specifically to the in-house scholarly publications of a university or institute. They are important venues for early-career researchers and for work reporting on local or Japan-specific topics.

This word is a homophone of 器用(きよう) (dexterous) and 起用(きよう) (to appoint, to recruit). Context — usually "university," "paper," "publish" — makes the meaning clear.
