For reviewers: review history

Posted on May 26, 2019 by Edward Dunne

A glowing letter "H" for historyWe have added a feature for our reviewers:  an automatic listing of your review history. One of the most common requests we receive from our reviewers is for a list of their reviews that have been published on MathSciNet.  Now you can access such a list directly from your reviewer home page. And, this works whether or not you are connected to a subscription to MathSciNet. Continue reading →

Math Reviews News: II

Posted on April 23, 2019 by Edward Dunne

Logo of the Notices of the American Mathematical SocietyMy second column appears in the May 2019 issue of the Notices of the American Mathematical Society.  The article talks about reviewers – the thousands of people who put the “Reviews” in “Mathematical Reviews”!  Besides giving some general information, there are some interesting facts about reviewers, including lists of prolific reviewers.  I would say more here, but I hope you will read the article.

Karen Uhlenbeck wins the 2019 Abel Prize

Posted on March 25, 2019 by Edward Dunne

Official announcement of Abel Prize being awarded to Karen UhlenbeckKaren Uhlenbeck is being awarded the 2019 Abel Prize.  It is a remarkable award for a remarkable mathematician.  Uhlenbeck did fundamental work in a quickly developing area of mathematics at an early stage of its development.  I was a graduate student when some of her significant papers were coming out.  There were quite a few people trying to understand her results and her techniques, diving deep into the difficult analysis she was unleashing on geometric problems.  Geometric analysts have long recognized Uhlenbeck’s contributions.  It is nice to see Uhlenbeck and her work recognized more widely with the Abel Prize.   Continue reading →

Math Reviews News

Posted on February 2, 2019 by Edward Dunne

Logo of the AMS NoticesMy first column appears in the February 2019 issue of the Notices of the American Mathematical Society.  The article considers the mathematics literature from the perspective of Mathematical Reviews.  Some themes that have appeared in this blog are covered in the article, but with more detail: the literature is growing; it is complicated; bibliometrics are not a panacea; the right way to understand the literature is to engage with it, preferably with the help of experts.  The column is scheduled to appear quarterly.
