Hewes Library - New Database Available
Hewes Library recently added MathSciNet to our campus resources. This electronic index offers access to a carefully maintained and easily searchable database of reviews, abstracts and bibliographic information for much of the mathematical sciences literature.
It searches peer-reviewed mathematical literature found in scholarly journals, books, and conference proceedings, many including written reviews by scholars in the field.
Most entries are citation only. Some entries provide citation maps, showing what an article has cited (bibliography) and what has cited that article allowing researcher to follow citations forward and backward in time. Coverage: some articles back to the early 1800s.
To access this database, use the Databases A-Z tab on the library homepage!
- Over 100,000 new items are added each year, most of them classified according to the Mathematics Subject Classification.
- Authors are uniquely identified (by their MR Author ID), enabling a search for publications by individual author rather than by name string.
- Continuing in the tradition of the paper publication, Mathematical Reviews (MR), which was first published in 1940, expert reviewers are selected by a staff of professional mathematicians to write reviews of the current published literature; over 80,000 reviews are added to the database each year.
- Extending the MR tradition, MathSciNet® contains almost 3 million items and over 1.7 million direct links to original articles.
- Bibliographic data from retrodigitized articles dates back to the early 1800s.
- Reference lists are collected and matched internally from approximately 550 journals, and citation data for journals, authors, articles and reviews is provided.
- This web of citations allows users to track the history and influence of research publications in the mathematical sciences.
