Results of the 2016 EMS User Survey for zbMATH

[摘要] In 2005, the European Mathematical Society took the initiative to appoint a Scientific User Committee (SCUC)of zbMATH (then Zentralblatt MATH). The main intentwas to actively involve the scientific community in a number of developments that were felt to be both necessaryand important. Jean-Pierre Bourguignon, who had been adriving force for the creation of the SCUC, also assumedthe duties of the first chair. The most urgent issues at thetime were the lack of appropriate author identification,the question of use and misuse of reference data and citation measures, and interface functionality. Further developments since then have been the interlinking with opensources like EuDML and arXiv, the database of mathematical software swMATH and formula search.
