Coverage

Archiv für Molluskenkunde publishes original research on all aspects of molluscan biodiversity, preferably on systematics, taxonomy, phylogeny and morphology, also accepting research on ecology and biogeography of all groups of molluscs, both Recent and fossil from the Cenozoic. Articles are published in English.[1]

History

Archiv für Molluskenkunde derives from the Nachrichtsblatt der Deutschen Malakozoologischen Gesellschaft [Newsletter of the German Malacological Society], first published in 1868. Hence it is the oldest malacological journal still publishing. The name changed in 1921, but the numbering of volumes runs continuously between the titles. The parent society transferred ownership of the journal to the Senckenberg Nature Research Society in 1936 in order to avoid government (Nazi) interference.[2] Senckenberg subsidises the journal and its museum curators act as editors.[3]

The journal is abstracted and indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Aquaculture and Fisheries Resources, Aquatic Biology, Aquatic Sciences & Fisheries Abstracts, Biological Abstracts (Biosis Philadelphia), Biosis previews, Fish and Fisheries Worldwide (FFW), GEOBASE, Scopus and Zoological Record.[1]
