Databases

-    Jahrbuch Project Electronic Research Archive for Mathematics (ERAM)
Literature database based on Jahrbuch über die Fortschitte der Mathematik (1868-1942) and Digital Library Göttingen (other digitised math publications).

-    MathSciNet (1940 - )
Mathematical Reviews searchable online. More info.

-    Current Index to Statistics
Indexes publications in statistics, probability, and related fields. NOTE: This database does NOT have links to the Get it! service for full-text; you'll have to open another window, to Full Text Electronic Journals Holdings, and search for the journal title there to see if online full-text is available, OR, search Current Index to Statistics from within Find it!, which does link you to Get it!More info.

-   Mathematics ArXiv

-    INSPEC
Scientific and technical journals and conference proceedings in physics, electrical engineering and electronics, computing and control, and information technology. January 1968 to the present. In this section you will also be able to cross-search other databases in the Web of Science (Citation Indexes). More Info.

-    Applied Science & Technology Full Text (1983 - ) More Info.

-    CiteSeer.IST (A citation index for computer science)

-    Web of Science (Science Citation Index,1970 - )
Journal index. Includes Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index. Updated weekly. More Info.

-   Zentralblatt MATH - citation check - 1868- ; we get the first 3 hits only because we do not subscribe to this database, but if you have some information this can be useful for verification, etc. "Zentralblatt MATH (ZBMATH) is the world's most complete and longest running abstracting and reviewing service in pure and applied mathematics. The ZBMATH database contains about 3 million bibliographic entries with reviews or abstracts drawn from more than 3500 journals and 1100 serials and covers the period from 1868 to present by the recent integration of the Jahrbuch database (JFM)"
