While the Summer is usually calm, RePEc has just passed some historic
benchmarks in terms of content and traffic: 750 journals listed, 2000
working paper series, half a million works available online, 20 million
working paper downloads recorded, 200,000 works that are cited within
RePEc. This all reflects the tremendous growth that RePEc continues to
enjoy.
This month's traffic numbers were 595,349 file downloads and 2,407,502
abstract views for those RePEc services that provide statistics:
EconPapers, IDEAS, NEP and Socionet. These numbers are filtered for
multiple downloads, robots and other "unusual" behavior.
Finally, let's see all the thresholds that have been beaten, an impressive
list for a single month:
20,000,000 cumulative working paper downloads
2,000,000 cumulative software component abstract views
500,000 works available online
500,000 cumulative chapter abstract views
333,333 works listed in registered author profiles
200,000 works with citations
125,000 article abstracts
125,000 JEL coded items
17,000 registered authors
2,000 working paper series
