PsycINFO is the digital version of Psychological Abstracts, a publication that has been authored by the American Psychological Association since 1927. The APA printed the abstract of every paper published in psychology in a yearly book. It then became monthly, then bi-weekly. Researchers had to look up their subjects in the indexes of this book and track down each abstract in the monthly volumes to do scholarly research until the database became widely available on CD-ROM and then the internet.
