Aims & Scope: Cathaica publishes original research on molluscs and related invertebrates, particularly in taxonomy, systematics, phylogeny, biodiversity and related fields. Revision papers, descriptions of new taxa, redescriptions of little-known taxa, illustrated keys, new national or provincial records, and biogeography are welcome. Due to the limited knowledge of Asian molluscan taxonomy and fauna, manuscripts on anatomical reports, fauna investigation and field trip results are also encouraged.

目标与领域：《贝类多样性研究》发行软体动物及其近缘无脊椎动物之原创研究，尤其在分类学、系统学、系统发育及相关领域。欢迎如下论文：修订、描述新分类单元、重描述鲜为人知的分类单元、图示检索表、国家级或省级新记录与生物地理。亚洲软体动物的分类学和动物区系知识有限，因此也鼓励提供解剖学报告、动物区系调查和实地野外考察记录等方面的稿件。

Manuscripts may be returned upfront by the editors without review if considered to lack sufficient focus on the scope and publication profile as defined above.
