'''zbMATH''', formerly '''Zentralblatt MATH''', is a major reviewing service providing reviews and abstracts for articles in [[pure mathematics|pure]] and [[applied mathematics]], produced by the Berlin office of [[FIZ Karlsruhe]] – Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure GmbH. Editors are the [[European Mathematical Society]], FIZ Karlsruhe, and the [[Heidelberg Academy of Sciences]]. zbMATH is distributed by [[Springer Science+Business Media]]. It uses the [[Mathematics Subject Classification]] codes for organising reviews by topic.

== History ==
Mathematicians [[Richard Courant]], [[Otto Neugebauer]], and [[Harald Bohr]], together with the publisher Ferdinand Springer, took the initiative for a new mathematical reviewing journal. [[Harald Bohr]] worked in Copenhagen. Courant and Neugebauer were professors at the [[University of Göttingen]]. At that time, Göttingen was considered one of the central places for mathematical research, having appointed mathematicians like [[David Hilbert]], [[Hermann Minkowski]], [[Carl Runge]], and [[Felix Klein]], the great organiser of mathematics and physics in Göttingen. His dream of a building for an independent mathematical institute with a spacious and rich reference library was realised four years after his death. The credit for this achievement is particularly due to [[Richard Courant]], who convinced the [[Rockefeller Foundation]] to donate a large amount of money for the construction.<ref>{{cite book|first=Norbert | last=Schappacher|chapter = Das Mathematische Institut der Universität Göttingen 1929–1950|pages=523–551 |editor-last=Sauer |editor-first= K.

The service was founded in 1931, by [[Otto Neugebauer]] as ''Zentralblatt für Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete''. It contained the bibliographical data of all recently published mathematical articles and book, together with [[peer review]]s done by mathematicians over the world. In the preface to the first volume, the intentions of Zentralblatt are formulated as follows:<ref>{{cite book|first=Otto | last=Neugebauer|chapter = Geleitwort|pages=1 |editor-last=Neugebauer |editor-first= O.| title=Zentralblatt für Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete| year=1931 |publisher=Springer-Verlag|display-editors=etal}}</ref>

<blockquote>
''Zentralblatt für Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete'' aims to publish — in an efficient and reliable manner — reviews of the entire world literature in mathematics and related areas in issues initially appearing monthly. As the name suggests, the main focus of the journal is mathematics. However, those areas that are closely related to mathematics will be treated as seriously as the so-called pure mathematics.
</blockquote>

''Zentralblatt'' and the ''[[Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik]]'' had in essence the same agenda, but ''Zentralblatt'' published several issues per year. An issue was published as soon as sufficiently many reviews were available, in a frequency of three or four weeks.<ref>{{cite book|first=Silke | last=Göbel|chapter = Glimpses into the history of Zentralblatt MATH|pages=1–16 |editor1-last=Teschke |editor1-first= O.|editor2-first= Bernd|editor2-last= Wegner|editor3-first=Dirk|editor3-last= Werner

In the late 1930s, it began rejecting some [[Jew]]ish reviewers and a number of reviewers in [[England]] and [[United States]] resigned in protest.<ref>{{cite book|first=D. H. |last=Lehmer |chapter=A Half Century of Reviewing |pages=265–266 |chapter-url=http://www.ams.org/samplings/math-history/hmath1-lehmer18.pdf |editor-last=Duren|editor-first=Peter|title=A century of mathematics in America|year=1988|publisher=American Mathematical Society|location=Providence, R.I.|isbn=978-0-8218-0124-6|edition=Repr.}}</ref> Some of them helped start ''[[Mathematical Reviews]]'', a competing publication.

The electronic form was provided under the name ''INKA-MATH'' ([[acronym]] for ''In''formation System ''Ka''rlsruhe-Database on ''Math''ematics) since at least 1980. The name was later shortened to ''Zentralblatt MATH.''

In addition to the print issue, the services were offered online under the name ''zbMATH'' since 1996. Since 2004 older issues were incorporated back to 1826.

The printed issue was discontinued in 2013.
Since January 2021, the access to the database is now open to anyway under the name ''zbMATH Open''.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20211028052522/https://zbmath.org/frequently-asked-questions/</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20211118095313/https://zbmath.org/about/#id_3_5</ref>

== Services ==
The ''Zentralblatt MATH'' abstracting service provides reviews (brief accounts of contents) of current articles, conference papers, books and other publications in mathematics, its applications, and related areas. The reviews are predominantly in English, with occasional entries in German and French. Reviewers are volunteers invited by the editors based on their published work or a recommendation by an existing reviewer.

''Zentralblatt MATH'' is provided both over the Web and in printed form. The service reviews more than 2,300 journals and serials worldwide, as well as books and conference proceedings. ''Zentralblatt MATH'' is now edited by the [[European Mathematical Society]], [[FIZ Karlsruhe]], and the [[Heidelberg Academy of Sciences]].

The database also incorporates the 200,000 entries of the earlier similar publication ''Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik'' from 1868 to 1942, added in 2003.

As of January 2021, the complete database is accessible for free.<ref>{{cite web |title=About zbMATH |url=https://zbmath.org/about/ |website=zbMATH |access-date=2 January 2021}}</ref> Previously, only the first three records in a search were available without a subscription.
