Abstract

Developmental Review is a journal of literature reviews and theoretical analyses for developmental scientists. During its first quarter-century of publication, the quality of those articles resulted in a journal whose level of impact on the scientific literature is extremely high, currently in the top 10% of all journals indexed by Social Sciences Citation Index. A study of the 25 most influential articles published during this period is presented. Characteristics of the articles’ content and authorship are discussed that are strongly associated with high levels of influence. These data are then used to identify some recently published papers that may prove to be highly influential articles in future years.
