Allcock is the editor of the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society[4] and was co-editor of the Journal of Natural History from 2007 to 2015.[5] She was the president of the Cephalopod International Advisory Council (CIAC) from 2012 to 2015.[6]
Allcock has also worked on gender equality, and is a member of the gender equality task force in Ireland.[7] She has highlighted the role and impact of female researchers in cephalopod research.[8]
Allcock was the last author on the best scientific paper on cephalopod research 2006–2009 awarded by the Cephalopod International Advisory Council (CIAC).[17] The paper on the origin for deep-sea octopuses was also the highlight in the Census of Marine Life press release at the 1st World Congress of Marine Biodiversity, Valencia 2008.[18] In 2023 she was elected a member of the Royal Irish Academy.[19]
