About the:
Society for Research in Child Development
The field of child development received formal recognition
in 1922-23 through the appointment of a subcommittee on Child Development of
the National Research Council. In 1925, under the direction of Robert S.
Woodworth, an eminent experimental psychologist, this group became the
Committee in Child Development with offices and staff in the National Academy
of Sciences. The purpose of the committee was to integrate research activities
and to stimulate research in child development. The committee awarded fellowships,
initiated conferences, and began publications. In 1927, 425 scientists were
listed in the Directory of Research in Child Development and that same year the
first volume of Child Development Abstracts and Bibliography was published. In
1933 the Committee on Child Development disbanded and passed the torch to the
newly organized Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD).

Important Changes in Research Reporting
This is a key change to the way research of children and
adolescents is conducted and reported. We learn how detailed the process of
scholarly research must be when children are involved.
