Abstract
The perceived visibility and quality of human development journals in France, Great Britain, and West Germany was evaluated. Following the method employed by <i>Peery</i> and <i>Adams</i> [Human Development 24: 312–319, 1981], two questionnaire items were distributed to members of the developmental sections of the respective national psychological associations. In the interest of assessing international information flow, the results were compared to those obtained by <i>Peery</i> and <i>Adams</i> with an American sample. Overall, the dominance of English-language (and especially American) journals is notable. Generally, the European respondents nominated either journals from their own countries or English-language journals. Achieving particular international prominence were <i>Child Development</i>, <i>Developmental Psychology</i>, <i>Human Development</i>, and <i>Journal of Experimental</i><i>Child Psychology</i>. Thus, by this measure, there is an apparent lack of international information distribution among these European communities and an unmistakable one-way information flow from American developmental psychologists to their European colleagues.
