Molluscan Research: Trends of subject matter and statistics of papers published during 1994-2011

Abstract

Trends of subject matter and statistics of papers published in Molluscan Research during 1994-2011 were analysed using data from Zoological Record. The number of papers increased after the frequency of publication was increased to three times per year in 2002. In addition to keeping a strong taxonomic focus with about a third of the papers describing at least one new species in the last ten years, it has successfully evolved from a primarily Australasian journal to a truly international journal with an Asia-Pacific focus. © 2012 Malacological Society of Australasia & Society for the Study Of Molluscan Diversity.
