04 Jun '07

Hello all! The big news is that RePEc is 10 years old! On 12 May 1997, Thomas Krichel (then at the University of Surrey, now at Long Island University) lead a meeting with Thomas Place and Corry Stuyts (University of Tilburg), Sune Karlsson (then at the Stockholm School of Economics, now at Orebro University) and Jose Manuel Barrueco Cruz (University of Valencia) as they laid down the structure and semantics of RePEc. Then, on 27 May, the Financial Markets Group at LSE opened the first participating RePEc archive, followed by the University of Quebec at Montreal, DEGREE (Netherlands), the Stockholm School of Economics and Boston College. RePEc has made tremendous strides since, becoming now the standard online tool for bibliographic searches in Economics and an example of efficiency in library science. More narrowly, let's see what RePEc established within the last month: 593,712 file downloads and 2,165,055 abstract views, as well as surpassing the following numbers: 75000000 cumulated paper abstract views 5000000 cumulated downloads through EconPapers 480000 listed items 250000 abstracts 240000 paper announcements thorugh NEP 100000 JEL coded items 13000 registered authors 1500 online chapters 600 journals 400 NEP-ALL reports 10 years RePEc Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!

RePEc in April 2007
by Christian Zimmermann 04 May '07

04 May '07

Hello all, here is the latest about RePEc. First, we have a leadership change for NEP, our email awareness program. Bernardo Batiz-Lazo, now at Leicester University, has lead this project since October 2000 and is now relayed by Marco Novarese, from the University of the Oriental Piedmont. See http://nep.repec.org/ for details. Also, RePEc has now over 750 participating archives, offering over 2500 series. We are just two short of 600 journals. In terms of traffic, we recorded last month 615,138 file downloads and 2,174,123 abstract views. This brings us to the thresholds passed in April: 75000000 abstract views on IDEAS 15000000 paper downloads 475000 items 240000 abstracts 150000 online papers 150000 paper abstracts 90000 article abstracts 75000 articles with citations 20000 articles with references 2500 series 1000 books 750 archives 80 fields covered in NEP 50% of items claimed by registered authors* * Technically, this is not true, as a paper can be claimed by several authors. What is true is that the number of claims as reached 50% of the number of items. Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!

the pace of expansion
by Christopher Baum 04 May '07

04 May '07

Interestingly, RePEc have added the last 50 archives in just under three months. In that same three month period, we have received 47 requests for archive codes which have not yet been established. Separately, I am pleased to report that we will soon index several Blackwell statistics journals, prominent among them the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series A, B, C. Kit
