What is zbMATHOpen? |
Zentralblatt MATH (zbMATHOpen) is the world’s most comprehensive and longest-running abstracting and reviewing service in pure and applied mathematics. For general information on the database and its history see our About page and in particular our tutorial videos. |
Why will zbMATHOpen improve my research? |
zbMATHOpen is much more than a common search engine. |
What is included in zbMATHOpen? |
The zbMATHOpen database contains around 5million bibliographic entries from all areas of pure mathematics as well as applications, in particular to the natural sciences, computer science, economics and engineering. |
How up-to-date is zbMATHOpen? |
zbMATHOpen is updated daily with new bibliographic data and abstracts. New issues of major journals are included at the latest within 3 months after publication and regularly even sooner. |
How are indexing decisions made? |
Journals to be indexed, either cover-to-cover or in parts, are selected by the editor-in-chief, together with the editorial board. Publishers who would like their journals to be indexed in zbMATHOpen are encouraged to contact our journal administration using our Contact Form. Provided that the suggested journal falls within the scope of zbMATHOpen, our staff will contact the publisher for the arrangement of a suitable data delivery procedure. |
Should I become a zbMATHOpen reviewer? |
Reviewing mathematical papers is a valuable service to the mathematical community and is highly appreciated by your colleagues. The reviewers benefit from the fact that they regularly receive major publications in their field, and that their visibility is greatly increased within the community thanks to their reviews. |
Who runs zbMATHOpen? |
zbMATHOpen is produced by the Berlin office of FIZ Karlsruhe –Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure GmbH (FIZKarlsruhe). Editors are the European Mathematical Society (EMS), FIZKarlsruhe, and the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. |
What happened to Zentralblatt? |
The zbMATHOpen database is the consequent transition of the printed Zentralblatt für Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete into the digital age. In 1996 we started to offer all services online under the name zbMATH in addition to the printed edition. Since then we worked also on the digitisation and incorporation of the printed volumes in the database now dating back to 1826. |

Alternatively you can use the Structured Search within the Documents tab which combines all search possibilities for documents. |
Can I get full texts out of zbMATHOpen? |
The database zbMATHOpen contains about 2.5 million direct links to electronic versions of the indexed publications, to the publishers’ websites and/or to electronic libraries with open access to the full texts (in particular to the European Digital Mathematics Library EuDML and to ElibM). |
How can I receive updates about developments in my field? |
zbMATHOpen offers biweekly updates in a feed format that can be read by all modern newsreaders. Simply click on the feed icon |
I found a mistake in the database. Who should I contact? |

Author Profiles |
How does the author disambiguation work? |
At zbMATHOpen we pursue two parallel strategies to improve the unambiguous identification of authors. We apply an algorithm mainly based on the analysis of co-author collaboration and the pattern of publishing activity. |
Can I correct my author profile? |
Yes, you are warmly invited to correct your own profile as well as those of colleagues. Please help us to improve zbMATHOpen by confirming or excluding documents from an author profile, merging two or more author profiles into one, including author identifiers like ORCID etc. or writing further suggestions to our author disambiguation team. |
Why is my latest paper or preprint not included? |
We are constantly in touch with publishers to enhance the data delivery process while also working on further improvements to the internal workflows. |
What about article references? |
For the articles in about 600 journals, lists of references are delivered, with links to their zbMATHOpen entries as well as their electronic versions via Document Object Identifier (DOI). |
Why do I have fewer citations in zbMATHOpen than elsewhere? |
Citation counts in zbMATHOpen are sometimes lower than those provided by other services. Firstly, zbMATHOpen is focused on peer-reviewed, mathematical research contributions only, so references from journals outside our scope or from preprints are not counted. Secondly, the author disambiguation excludes falsely contributed documents from the analysis. |
How can I determine the collaboration distance between two authors? |
To determine the Erdős number of an author, or the collaboration distance between any two authors, use the link "Co-Author Distance" available in every author profile. You can also use the direct link to the Collaboration Distance interface. |
