Developmental Psychobiology is a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary journal that publishes original high-quality research papers from the disciplines of psychology, biology, neuroscience, and medicine that contribute to an understanding of behavioral development. Research that focuses on development in the embryo/fetus, neonate, juvenile, or adult organism, including multidisciplinary research that relates behavioral development to anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, genetics, or evolution, is appropriate. The journal represents a broad phylogenetic perspective on behavioral development by publishing experimental and descriptive studies of invertebrates, fish, birds, rodents, other nonhuman animals, and humans. 

The journal publishes experimental and descriptive studies whether carried out in the laboratory or field. The journal also publishes review articles, theoretical papers, and Letters to the Editor that make important conceptual contributions to the field. Letters to the Editor discuss issues of general interest or material published in the journal; these may correct errors, provide clarification, or offer a different point of view. Authors should consult the editors on the preparation of these types of contributions. Special issues of Developmental Psychobiology, dedicated to a specific topic of general interest, may also be arranged with the Editor-in-Chief.

To warrant publication, overall scholarship is evaluated through soundness of experimental design, appropriate controls and procedures, and statistical analyses that highlight the importance and significance of the work. Developmental Psychobiology values rigor, reproducibility and transparency in scientific studies to advance knowledge across the field of behavioral development.
