Is there an analogue of mathscinet for physics? - MathOverflow most recent 30 from http://mathoverflow.net 2013-05-18T06:59:41Z http://mathoverflow.net/feeds/question/44379 http://www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/rdf http://mathoverflow.net/questions/44379/is-there-an-analogue-of-mathscinet-for-physics Is there an analogue of mathscinet for physics? Dan Ramras 2010-10-31T20:57:11Z 2010-11-01T01:47:50Z <p>I've been looking recently at some papers in physics, from journals that are not listed in mathscinet. Is there is a similar database for physics, with reviews and citation links? I'd like to see where the papers I'm currently looking at have been referenced, in order to follow the subject forward in time.</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/44379/is-there-an-analogue-of-mathscinet-for-physics/44383#44383 Answer by mathphysicist for Is there an analogue of mathscinet for physics? mathphysicist 2010-10-31T21:53:11Z 2010-11-01T01:47:50Z <p>In addition to freely available <a href="http://scholar.google.com/advanced_scholar_search?hl=en&amp;num=100" rel="nofollow">Google Scholar</a> and <a href="http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires/" rel="nofollow">SPIRES</a>, and subscription-based <a href="http://isiknowledge.com/WOS" rel="nofollow">Web of Science</a> and <a href="http://www.scopus.com/home.url" rel="nofollow">Scopus</a>, there is a free <a href="http://www.adsabs.harvard.edu/" rel="nofollow">NASA Astrophysics Data Systems database</a> which, contrary to its title, appears to have broader scope than SPIRES, at least as far as mathematical physics is concerned; it provides abstracts (but not reviews), citations, and, for some older papers, their full-text scanned versions. Now it is sort of integrated with <a href="http://arxiv.org/" rel="nofollow">arXiv.org</a>: when looking at the abstract of any arXiv preprint, you see the link to its citations and references at NASA ADS under References &amp; Citations. This database has, <em>inter alia</em>, a specialized <a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/physics_service.html" rel="nofollow">physics and geophysics search engine</a>. </p>
