RePEc in January 2009

03 Feb '09

The big news this month is that we have now surpassed 700,000 bibliographic items listed in RePEc. The last 100,000 additions took only 7 months, something that seems difficult to beat. The other news is that the ranking methodology has changed following the discussion on this blog. Essentially, authors with multiple affiliations are now treated differently, as they contribute with variable weights to each of their affiliations, and these weights are used to distribute their scores across the countries and regions they are ranked in. Also, a NEP report for the Arab World was created. Finally, we experienced heavy traffic on our sites, with 766,586 file downloads and 2,756,978 abstract views in January 2009. With regard to major thresholds reached during the month, we can report: 4,000,000 extracted references 700,000 items listed 500,000 abstract views through Socionet 350,000 online articles 125,000 cited articles 100,000 cited working papers 50,000 subscriptions to the NEP email notification service 3,500 series and journals listed Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!
