Mathematical Reviews is a journal published by the American Mathematical Society (AMS) that contains brief synopses, and in some cases evaluations, of many articles in mathematics, statistics, and theoretical computer science.[1][2] The AMS also publishes an associated online bibliographic database called MathSciNet, which contains an electronic version of Mathematical Reviews and additionally contains citation information for over 3.5 million items as of 2018.[update]

In 1980, all the contents of Mathematical Reviews since 1940 were integrated into an electronic searchable database. Eventually the contents became part of MathSciNet, which was officially launched in 1996.[2] MathSciNet also has extensive citation information.[5]
Mathematical citation quotient
Mathematical Reviews computes a mathematical citation quotient (MCQ) for each journal. Like the
For the period 2012 – 2014, the top five journals in Mathematical Reviews by MCQ were:[7]
- Acta Numerica — MCQ 8.14
- Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS — MCQ 5.06
- Journal of the American Mathematical Society — MCQ 4.79
- Annals of Mathematics — MCQ 4.60
- Forum of Mathematics, Pi— MCQ 4.54
The "All Journal MCQ" is computed by considering all the journals indexed by Mathematical Reviews as a single meta-journal, which makes it possible to determine if a particular journal has a higher or lower MCQ than average. The 2018 All Journal MCQ is 0.41.
Current Mathematical Publications
Current Mathematical Publications was a subject index in print format that published the newest and upcoming mathematical literature, chosen and indexed by Mathematical Reviews editors. It covered the period from 1965 until 2012, when it was discontinued.[8]
