Here's links research papers either explicitly about therianthropy, or highly relevant but using other words to describe similar experiences/identities. For instance, I've included some papers that mention species dysphoria or non-human phantom limbs, even if they don't mention otherkin or therians. A lot of them will be behind paywalls, sadly. If you don't have access to them through a university library or similar, you may want try and e-mail the author and ask nicely. They are allowed to share the paper directly with you. I've tried to include links to open access pdf.s where possible. They aren't ordered in any particular way, sorry.
Note, I don't remember if I've read all of them fully. I think I've probably read most of them. But I haven't gone through them in detail like a proper academic. I'm a biologist and not a psychologist, scholar of religion, in gender studies or any of the sort. So I feel like I'm a bit out of my depth here when it comes to critiquing works in those fields.
Just wanted to share. I will cross-post this to r/therianadult as well.
