The cornerstone of the Buros Institute's publishing activities is the Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY) series. The MMY includes timely, consumer-oriented test reviews, providing evaluative information to promote and encourage informed test selection.

Typical MMY test entries include descriptive information, one or two professional reviews, and reviewer references. To be reviewed in the MMY a test must be commercially available, be published in the English language, and be new, revised, or widely used since it last appeared in the MMY series. Beginning in The Fourteenth Mental Measurements Yearbook, tests also must provide sufficient documentation supporting their technical quality to meet criteria for review.

Between the years 1988 and 1999, the Buros Institute produced a Supplement to the Ninth through Thirteenth Mental Measurements Yearbooks. Beginning with the Fourteenth Mental Measurements Yearbook, volumes in the MMY series are produced every two years. The Supplement series has been discontinued.
