Journals are broad range collected papers chosen by editors because they represent the leading edge of recent contributions to theory and practice. The journals listed here concentrate on psychological data of prenatal and perinatal life. Under the rubric of Related Journals we list those which give major attention to human development beyond the perinatal era. However, these journals are publishing an increasing number of articles reaching back from infancy to the prenatal and perinatal time period.
