Free and Open Access Links: Mathematics and Statistics

Information about mathematics and statistics specific online resources that are open access so available to all researchers and mathematics and statistics specific online resources that are freely available to researchers in developing and emerging countries.

The American Mathematical Society (AMS)
AMS has established a complete digital archive of its mathematical research journals. All back issues, starting with each journal's inaugural issue through 2005, are now freely available in electronic format.

Over 34,000 articles are available from over 100 years of high-quality mathematical research in 'Journal of the AMS,' 'Mathematics of Computation,' 'Proceedings of the AMS,' 'Transactions of the AMS,' and 'Bulletin of the AMS.'

Researchers can browse the contents of each journal to find articles and authors in each volume and issue, and can search across the entire archive by journal or group of journals. View the abstract, references (with links to MathSciNet), bibliographic information, Mathematics Subject Classifications for each article, or view a PDF of the full article.

DML: Digital Mathematics Library
This site, prepared and maintained by Ulf Rehmann, contains links to 1822 digitized maths books (361524 pages) and 126 digitized maths journals (2609672 pages) searchable by author or title.

eJournals Delivery Service
The electronic Journals Delivery Service (eJDS) offers access to current scientific literature free of cost in the fields of Physics and Mathematics. Articles can be sent by email to scientists in institutions in the least developed or low income countries, who do not have access to sufficient bandwidth to download material from the Internet. An institution needs to apply by sending an application form and when approved, the institutional contact will be informed by e-mail how to proceed.

e-Math for Africa
The aim of this site is to coordinate the efforts to make an African consortium for e-journals and databases.It includes 200+ links to open journals in mathematics and access to several mathematics databases.

Electronic Library of Mathematics
The Electronic Library of Mathematics contains online journals, article collections, monographs, and other electronic resources in the field of mathematics. All material is in electronic form and access is generally free, except for some periodicals with a "moving wall", i.e., a certain delay period after which resources become freely available.  The Electronic Library of Mathematics is supervised by the Electronic Publishing Committee of the European Mathematical Society (EPC-EMS).

International Mathematics Union (IMU)
Free access to Bulletins and Newsletters from the International Mathematics Unions and its members. The newsletter aims to improve communication between IMU and the worldwide mathematical community, by reporting decisions and recommendations of IMU, and highlighting issues that are under discussion. In addition, IMU-Net will report on major international mathematical events and developments, and on other topics of general mathematical interest.

PhysMath Central
PhysMath Central is an independent publishing platform operated by BioMed Central committed to providing immediate open access to peer-reviewed physics and mathematics research. All original research articles published by, or in cooperation with, PhysMath Central are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication. PhysMath Central views open access to research as essential in order to ensure the rapid and efficient communication of research findings. PhysMath Central is committed to maintaining high standards through full and stringent peer review.

Project Euclid
Joint project between Cornell University and SPARC, Project Euclid's mission is to advance scholarly communication in the field of theoretical and applied mathematics and statistics. Project Euclid hopes to address the unique needs of low-cost independent and society journals. Through a collaborative partnership arrangement, these publishers join forces and participate in an online presence with advanced functionality, without sacrificing their intellectual or economic independence or commitment to low subscription prices. Full-text searching, reference linking, interoperability through the Open Archives Initiative, and long-term retention of data are all important components of the project.
