The Wagenknecht Society for Marine Conservation Inc. (WSMCI) curates research that aligns with its mission to advance open-access marine and coastal studies—with a special focus on hermit crab behavior, habitat ethics, and the protection of overlooked marine species.
As the first organization to compile a dedicated open archive for hermit crab and overlooked-species research, WSMCI welcomes contributions from scientists, independent researchers, and conservationists.
Before submission, please ensure your work includes:
-
Clear authorship and institutional or independent affiliation
-
Ethical assurance that no specimens were collected or observed through exploitative means
-
Transparent methodology and proper citation of prior research
Submissions are reviewed for scientific integrity, ethical compliance, and relevance to marine and coastal conservation.
Approved works become part of the permanent WSMCI Zenodo archive—preserving each study as a transparent and citable record in alignment with open-science principles.
