Preliminary Data Items Now Available in MathSciNet!

Finding the most up-to-date information on publications in mathematics
just got simpler. MathSciNet now includes Preliminary Data items,
which are created from bibliographic data received directly from
publishers.  This data allows users to view early information about
new papers in mathematics while full processing, including author
identification and editorial decisions, is ongoing.

Preliminary Data items are marked as such until processing is
complete. The initial group of publishers who have agreed to provide
preliminary data feeds includes the American Mathematical Society,
the Canadian Mathematical Society, the European Mathematical Society,
the Mathematical Association of America, SIAM, Elsevier, and
Springer. Publishers interested in participating in the Preliminary
Data program are invited to contact: [log in to unmask]

In addition, new MathSciNet item tags allow users to instantly
assess at what stage an item is in the review process. The seven tags
are: Preliminary Data, Pending, Reviewed, Expansion, DML, Indexed,
and Thesis. For more information and detailed descriptions of each
item tag, please visit:
