What is zbMATH? |
|
|
Springers zbMATH is the most complete and longest running reviewing service in MATH. |
|
| zbMATH, well-known under its former name Zentralblatt MATH, contains more than 3 million entries drawn from more than 3,500 journals, 1,100 series and currently about 170,000 books, with coverage across mathematics, statistics, computer sciences and the applications of these disciplines in engineering, physics, and the life sciences. Reviews are currently written by more than 6,500 experts from all over the world, and around 120,000 new items were added in 2012. It covers the period from 1868 - in some cases from 1826 - to the present. | |
- Direct links to open repositories like arXiv.org, ElibM, Numdam etc.
- More than 50% of the items in core mathematic disciplines are covered by external reviews.
- About 120.000 new items are added each year.
- All entries are classified according to the Mathematics Subject Classification Scheme (MSC 2000).
