Most Frequently Used Databases for Math & Statistics
MathSciNet may be first choice although items are added slowly!
FYI Some folks call MathSciNet, Mathematical Reviews
Once you find an article you want, click on 
. More information about Get it!
arXiv and Google Scholar are also highly recommended.
- arXiv This link opens in a new windowarXiv is an e-print service in the fields of physics, mathematics, non-linear science, computer science, and quantitative biology.
- Current Index to Statistics (1975 - ) This link opens in a new windowOpen access bibliographic index to 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 the Full Text Electronic Journals Holdings or Catalog, and search for the journal title there to see if online full-text is available.
Note from statindex.org: "CIS will remain open until December 31, 2019 and at that time will be shut down." - Google Scholar This link opens in a new windowUse Google Scholar to find articles from a wide variety of academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories and universities, as well as scholarly articles available across the web. While Google Scholar itself is free on the web, many of the citations it references are not. Accessing Google Scholar via the proxied link will enable Get It! and Web of Science Links from within Google Scholar citations.

- MathSciNet (1940 - ) via American Mathematical Society (AMS) This link opens in a new window
- MathSciNet (1940 -) via Ebscohost This link opens in a new windowReviews, abstracts and bibliographic information for mathematical sciences literature from the American Mathematical Society (AMS). Professional mathematicians write these reviews of the current published literature. Over 100,000 new items are added to the database each year.
- Scopus This link opens in a new windowThe world’s largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature. Contains over 46 million records, 70% with abstracts, and also includes over 4.6 million conference papers. NOTE: Click "Institutions" icon in right corner. Change organization to Washington University in St Louis John M Olin Library, Danforth Campus.
- Web of Science (1900 - ) This link opens in a new windowScience, social science, arts, and humanities citations for scholarly literature. Access the world’s leading scholarly literature in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities and examine proceedings of international conferences, symposia, seminars, colloquia, workshops, and conventions. The Libraries subscribe to Science Citation Index Expanded (1900-present), Social Sciences Citation Index (1970-present), and Arts & Humanities Citation Index (1975-present).
- PubMed (1946 - ) This link opens in a new windowOver 3,500 journals published internationally, covering all areas of medicine. Includes the entire Medline database (1966+) PLUS PreMedline (recent articles that are not yet fully indexed for Medline) and links to publisher full-text web sites and other databases.

For topics in applied math, consider tools for those disciplines, such as Engineering, Economics, Business, etc. See Find Articles sections of those Research Guides for tips.
