The IAP Reference Database is a routinely updated computerized data file of literature selected because of its relevance to psychological assessment, measurement, and applied psychometric methods.   All social and behavioral sciences journals listed in Current Contents Social Sciences Index are reviewed on a weekly basis and selected references are imported into the system.  This has been occurring since 1994.  The IAP Reference Database is managed using Procite software.   The current database includes over 16,000 records.

Updates to the IAP Reference Database are posted routinely. Update notification occurs via the IAPCHC Listserv. 

IAP does not guarantee the accuracy of all material in the system. The system has evolved over 9 years with multiple individuals entering many of the references by hand.  The end user is responsible for verifying the accuracy of any references used.
