2019 has been an interesting year. Indeed, while traffic has been on a long decline for the set of reporting RePEc services, there has been a major turnaround in 2019. For those services, we counted 5,821,298 full text downloads and 28,629,161 abstract views, numbers that are the highest since 2017 and 2013 respectively. We will see whether this trend will continue in 2020. A contributing factor may be the continuous improvements of the websites that drive most of this traffic. This blog will talk over the next year about how RePEc services distinguish themselves from other more generic services and thus are particularly useful for economists and the general public interested in economics. Of course, this growth of traffic was likely also fuelled by an increase in content indexed by RePEc. We can highlight the following numbers: 87 new RePEc archives, 66,000 new working papers, with 200 new working paper series, 167,000 new journal articles, with 400 new journals, for a total of almost a quarter million newly indexed works, 2,600 newly registered authors, and 3,200 NEP reports.
