Journal of Conchology
The Journal of Conchology is a flagship publication of the Society and is open access. It includes peer-reviewed, full-length scientific papers and shorter communications on molluscs, as well as longer special issues. The contents typically include descriptions of new species from anywhere in the world and reports concerning the ecology, distribution, and status of molluscs. Beginning in 2024 (volume 45), the Journal is only published on‑line. The journal now has its own website, https://jconch.net. Effective November 2026 newly published articles will only be published there. All new submissions of manuscripts must be made online through the jconch.net site. Journal content on conchsoc.org will gradually be transferred to the new site.
Mollusc World
Mollusc World is the Society's full colour newsletter. Three issues are produced each year which are available free to members or can be purchased individually from the Society. Older issues (two years following publication) are gradually being made available on-line.
For more information, as well as a current and past issues, see here.
Special Publications
Periodically the Society produces 'special publications' that are produced in the same format as the Journal of Conchology but have a particular theme. Currently none of these publications are available in hardcopy but it is hoped to make them available as downloads.
