I created [this article]; it deserves some filling out. ---- Charles Stewart 20:31, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Shouldn't the article title be Mathematical Reviews (capitalize "reviews")? -- Edemaine 19:01, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
it is stated that "When a work is in an unusual language only bibliographic information may be given.". i propose to change this in a way that is true in longer term and also is neutral. a replacement would be : "When a reviewer familiar with the language of a work is not easily found, only bibliographic information may be given.". though it is not much better, but the original quote above should, in my opinion, be changed. klash23oct2006.
This statement was marked by User: David Eppstein as {{ Fact}}. I concur but do not have a source to cite. I know of many articles that should have been included but were not, but making such list and explaining why smells too much of WP:OR. Any help appreciated. Jmath666 16:29, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
OK, I have reformulated the paragraph using sourced statements only. I have considered earlier labeling the section Critique but that would not remove the need for sources. If I come across a suitable reference I might return to the issue. Jmath666 17:18, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I removed "from nearly all" once again. This is false and the burden of proof is NOT on me but on whoever wants to claim that. I added the reference which lists the number of math journal (18,000 as of 2001) but not the breakdown how many of them cover-to-cover. I know for a fact existence of a large number of journals in the third world countries (usually in languages other than English) which are not covered. To see a glimpse into this, consider the case of a serial plagiarist Dănuț Marcu who tends to publish in journals not covered by the MathSciNet to avoid detection. Geombinatorics is just one of them - other are listed on his "resume". I would believe if you claimed "nearly all US based" or "nearly all English language international" mathematical journals, but as stated this is misleading at best. Mhym 10:09, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
For reasons unknown, user Mathsci has chosen to delete a sentence recording the fact that the Mathematics Reviews database was, as is, available from two commercial providers under the name and trademark MathSci. The sources supplied are datasheets from those suppliers, Lockheed and SilverPlatter, and a press release from the publisher itself, the AMS. No good reason for this deletion: the edit summary here does not enlighten. A.K.Nole ( talk) 19:03, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
“ | Mathematical Reviews Database Publication Formats
Since its inception in 1940, the Mathematical Reviews Database of bibliographic listings and reviews of published mathematical research, together with associated data, has grown not only in size but also in complexity. Since 1980, electronic tools for its maintenance have allowed layered information beyond the scope of the paper tools used in the first 40 years. There are many derived products that provide windows into subsets of the root content of the Database and subsets of the linking relationships that exist between entries in the Database. It is expected that new technologies will continue to provide new channels to the content of the Mathematical Reviews Database. * Mathematical Reviews * MathSciNet * MathSci on Dialog© |

(noindent) MathSci is the name of the electronic database for Mathematical Reviews and Current Mathematical Publications published by the American Mathematical Society. MathSciNet is the name of the online version. MathSci Disc is the name of the earlier largely superseded multidisc set. Mathsci ( talk) 20:12, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
