Recruiting Editorial Board Members for Mollusca

Mollusca (ISSN 3043-2367) is now recruiting Editorial Board Members (EBMs). If you are an active researcher in the field and passionate about publishing cutting-edge research, or if you could recommend potential candidates, please contact the Mollusca Editorial Office (mollusca@mdpi.com) to apply for this role.

Mollusca is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that welcomes original research articles, reviews, and communications related to all aspects of malacology. The journal aims to publish studies across all fields of malacology, such as molluscan phylogeny, taxonomy, paleobiology, morphology, development, and faunistics, in addition to interdisciplinary and applied studies such as aquaculture, fisheries science, environmental toxicology, and biodiversity conservation. To ensure scientific rigor and transparency, submissions are expected to explicitly detail their methodological frameworks, thereby enabling the reproducibility of outcomes. Furthermore, comprehensive and critical discussions of findings are essential, accompanied by compelling articulation of the study's broader implications and contributions across academia, industry, and society. To complement the primary research, extensive datasets and additional resources—such as videos, figures, and tables—are also welcomed as supplementary materials.
