The main papers that describe IMP itself are:

• D. Russel, K. Lasker, B. Webb, D. Schneidman, J. Velázquez-Muriel, A. Sali, "Putting the pieces together: integrative structure determination of macromolecular assemblies", PLoS Biology 10, 2012. This paper provides an overview of the key concepts in IMP and how to apply them to biological problems.
• F. Alber, F. Förster, D. Korkin, M. Topf, A. Sali, "Integrating diverse data for structure determination of macromolecular assemblies", Annu Rev Biochem 77, 2008. This paper provides a review of the integrative structure determination methodology and various data sources that can be used.
