| Jun 23, 2014 at 15:09 | comment | added | zindarod | If someone wanted to ask the same question regarding Computer Science, where would be the best place to post it? | |

| Jun 21, 2014 at 9:24 | comment | added | user9072 | @AndyPutman your advice is good but your assertion seems too strong (even if you include equivalents of MathSciNet such as zbbMATH). AFAIK access to MathSciNet (or an equivalent) is not even universal throughout the professional community. Furthermore, since zbMATH is free for focused searches it, in combination with free resources such as Google Scholar, can be used as an incovenient but still rather feasible substitute, in my opinion. | |
| Jun 21, 2014 at 3:13 | comment | added | Andy Putman | It would be pretty absurd to try to do math research without access to math reviews. I would contact mathematicians you know and try to get someone to arrange for you to have a computer account on a university server. | |

| Jun 20, 2014 at 8:36 | comment | added | Per Alexandersson | Arxiv is free. Have a look on recent submissions. For example, in combinatorics, there seem to be a high interest in pattern-avoidance in permutations. | |
| Jun 20, 2014 at 7:13 | comment | added | Georges Elencwajg | This is a great question and I have voted to reopen. It is indeed a vital problem to know what is going on in research and since there is no easy answer, every bit of information (especially from top research mathematicians) is extremely precious. As a first step in the right direction, I would be very grateful to the closers if they told us a little about their own field of research and their contribution. | |

| Jun 20, 2014 at 3:56 | comment | added | Pedro Lauridsen Ribeiro | @Michael true, point taken, but the question did not specifically ask for "open access" review sites, so I thought MathSciNet and ZBMath were valid options. Besides, they are far more comprehensive (and older) than, say, Physical Review Focus. | |
| Jun 20, 2014 at 3:50 | comment | added | Michael | @PedroLauridsenRibeiro, unfortunately, mathscinet is not exactly free. | |

| Jun 20, 2014 at 2:14 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | Have you tried looking at the arxiv and journals? Generally speaking looking at published work is a good place to start. | |

| Jun 20, 2014 at 1:27 | comment | added | Pedro Lauridsen Ribeiro | Well, there are always the venerable Mathematical Reviews (ams.org/mathscinet) and Zentralblatt für Mathematik (zbmath.org). For a bit of history, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Reviews | |
