Research (formally Journal of the Malacological Society
of Australia) has been publishing research papers annually since
1957. The Society may also publish special publications from
time to time. Back issues of both the journal and newsletter
are available for purchase. Molluscan Research was
published mainly once a year from 1957 to 2001.

Record. PDFs of papers and abstracts and contents pages for issues from 2002-2004
are available on the CSIRO
website and from 2005 on the Magnolia
Press website.
Papers
on all aspects of molluscs can be submitted - including systematics,
diversity, biology, ecology, physiology, morphology, conservation
and behaviour as well as book reviews. Short "research
notes" can also be submitted. We will accept papers dealing
with molluscs from any part of the world, but our emphasis is with the Indo-west Pacific, including SE Asia, and Australasian
regions. All papers will be reviewed by at least two reviewers
and authors are required to submit fully electronic final
copy.
In addition to receiving hard copies
of Molluscan Research members will have free access to online electronic copies.
