Monographic studies of up to about 60 printed pages can also be considered for publication, although we recommend that larger monographs be submitted to Zootaxa. 

The journal has been published since 1957 (as the Journal of the Malacological Society of Australia until 1993). It was published by CSIRO Publishing from 2001–2004 and those issues can be accessed on the CSIRO Publishing website.
