Hi folks, I need to pick your brains... (and I'm posting this to both TIPS and TIPS-DEVELOP so apologize to those of you who will get duplicate messages). I'm working with someone in clinical psych who wants to produce a handbook of readings in developmental psych, covering birth through adolescence. He's interested in tracking down the most cited articles and books/monographs, primarily over the past 25 years but also wants to be sure to include "classic" works for historic contextual purposes. Articles technically are not a problem to determine b/c of citation indexes. Nonetheless, if you have any specific articles you'd recommend--or authors to include--I'd appreciate your suggestions. I'm particularly interested in your thoughts about books and monographs--specific titles/editions or even just authors. I know about GS Hall's Adolescence and probably can come up with other historical works. I know less about the stuff of more recent vintage. I haven't yet run searches in PsycINFO or checked the Annual Review of Psych or ToP. I also haven't checked yet to see whether we own any "readings" collections. I'm sure I'll turn up some "most cited"-type pubs in all of these ways. But I also figure you folks will have some opinions and probably will suggest things I may not otherwise identify. My target date is 4/20. I'll compile all responses I receive and post them to both lists shortly thereafter so you may want to send your recommendations to me privately. Thanks in advance!
