The University Bibliography is maintained via the publication management tool PUMA. Members of the University of Stuttgart can report their publications independently via the PUMA platform. The University Bibliography processes the records and publishes the processed publication metadata in PUMA.

In 2004, Google launched the beta version of a new search service specifically meant for scientific research. Google Scholar searches numerous scientific servers. The focus is on specialist journals, full texts of paid documents from commercial providers, of which the user can only see an abstract without access authorization, are also indexed.
