Abstract
Policy of the American Psychological Association, announced in September 1987, calls for the elimination of nonEnglish material from Psychological Abstracts beginning in 1988, but with continuing coverage in the two electronic formats, PsychINFO and PsychLIT. APA's electronic information media indicate that nonEnglish material published from 1983 to 1986 accounted for 12 6% of the total number of the abstracts. For material published in 1987 (and processed for the most part in 1988) the percentage dropped dramatically to 1.4%. It remained at this level (1.6%) during the next period available for analysis at this time.
