The Collection of Computer Science Bibliographies
Encyclopedia
The Collection of Computer Science Bibliographies is one of the oldest (if not the oldest) bibliography collections freely accessible on the Internet
. It is a collection of bibliographies of scientific literature in computer science
and (computational) mathematics
from various sources, covering most aspects of computer science. The bibliographies are updated weekly from their original locations.
As of 2009 the collection contains more than 2.8 million unique references (mostly to journal articles, conference papers and technical reports), clustered in about 1700 bibliographies, and consists of more than 4.4 Gb

entries. More than 600,000 references contain cross-references to citing or cited publications.
More than 1 million references contain URL
s to an online version of the paper. Abstracts are available for more than 1 million entries. There are more than 2,000 links to other sites carrying bibliographic information.
The number of duplicates may be seen as a feature, because there is a greater chance for finding a freely available full text PDF of a searched publication. Publications are clustered by title and last names of authors, so it is possible to find an extended version (e.g. Technical Report
or Thesis
) of an article.
There are also generated links to Google Scholar
and IEEE Xplore

Duplicates and links
As the Collection of Computer Science Bibliographies consists of many subcollections there is a substantial overlap (roughly 1/3). At the end of 2008 there were more than 4.2 million records which represent about 2.8 million unique (in terms of normalized title and authors' last names) bibliographic entries.The number of duplicates may be seen as a feature, because there is a greater chance for finding a freely available full text PDF of a searched publication. Publications are clustered by title and last names of authors, so it is possible to find an extended version (e.g. Technical Report
