colleagues who ignore Mathscinet because it misses much of the literature in areas such as error analysis of finite elements and numerical PDEs. Unfortunately I do not have the time to go search further for an independent source that would say this is a significant loss or relevance. Geombinatorics is abstracted, I checked. I have yet to come across any international or US based or European mathematical journal that is not covered. I believe you it misses large number of third world journals. But "MathSciNet contains information for articles from a large number of mathematical journals" as you wrote is vague and misses completely the importance of this resource. So, why don't you write what you know instead of the "large number"?

beyond the scope of the paper tools used in the first 40 years. There are many derived products that provide windows into subsets of the root content of the Database and subsets of the linking relationships that exist between entries in the Database. It is expected that new technologies will continue to provide new channels to the content of the Mathematical Reviews Database.

Since its inception in 1940, the Mathematical Reviews Database of bibliographic listings and reviews of published mathematical research, together with associated data, has grown not only in size but also in complexity. Since 1980, electronic tools for its maintenance have allowed layered information

Well, I described the situation as I know it. In my experience, it covers all that matters with the unfortunate exception of many mathematical articles in engineering journals, even major international engineering journals. Of course the reason I know that is that it missed some of mine, and I have

I removed "from nearly all" once again. This is false and the burden of proof is NOT on me but on whoever wants to claim that. I added the reference which lists the number of math journal (18,000 as of 2001) but not the breakdown how many of them cover-to-cover. I know for a fact existence of a

Well, to me an evaluative statement like "significant loss of relevance" already feels a little OR-like, which is why I asked for a reference. I didn't really mean making a list of exclusions, I meant more whether you can find a published source that includes a similar line about why MathSciNet is

it is stated that "When a work is in an unusual language only bibliographic information may be given.". i propose to change this in a way that is true in longer term and also is neutral. a replacement would be : "When a reviewer familiar with the language of a work is not easily found, only

the editors decide one way or the other. I see only the result, which is what I described - with "unusual" meaning "other than a major Western language". I understand this is not neutral but that's the way it is.
