LibGuides: Mathematics: Find Sources

Databases

MathSciNet
Find abstracts, citations, and reviews of scholarly mathematical literature.

arXiv.org
arXiv includes electronic pre-prints from the fields of physics, mathematics, computer science, statistics, economics, and more.

JSTOR
JSTOR is an interdisciplinary database which includes 64 mathematics journals. Journals include American Journal of Mathematics, Math Horizons, and more. Use the advanced search to narrow down to articles for a generalized audience.
ScienceDirect
ScienceDirect offers access to 1,358 Mathematics related publications (books and journals). You can explore by subject or use the search bar.
Scopus
Peer-reviewed articles, reviews, books, and conference proceedings in various disciplines of science, including physical and life sciences.

ERIC
The Educational Resource Information Center includes peer-reviewed articles, reports, conference papers, curriculum and teaching guides, and non-scholarly articles focused on education, including early childhood to higher education, and throughout the lifespan. Includes research on cognitive psychology.
ERIC is also available via Proquest, OCLC FirstSearch, and at ERIC website with access to full text documents from 1993-present. ERIC consists of two files:
- CIJE - Current Index to Journals in Education which indexes over 750 professional journals - all are assigned ERIC numbers beginning with an EJ (Eric journal).
- RIE - Resources in Education which indexes a variety of documents; all are assigned ERIC numbers beginning with an ED (Eric document). OCLC provides access to online full-text ED records via subscription links to EDRS Not all ED documents are available online. Inclusion depends on the authors original copyright agreement with EDRS. Typically 80% of ED documents permit online full-text usage. HINT: on OCLC look for the EDRS link at the bottom of the detailed record.
A variety of help options are available:
Education Full Text
