Hello all! While traffic has been rather light on RePEc sites, new and exciting developments have occured in the past month: - The citation analysis at CitEc has made a lot of progress lately, which allows us to publish comprehensive rankings for many categories. See http://ideas.repec.org/top/ - Checking the syntax of templates has become now much simpler with a new interactive tool. See http://econpapers.hhs.se/scripts/redifcheck.pl - The World Bank now joined RePEc. Thus, only very few of the top research outlets in RePEc are not yet participating in RePEc. There have been 235,823 file downloads and 941,557 abstract views in August 2004. During this month, the following thresholds have been passed: 400 chapters 400 online chapters 1000 software components with abstracts 20000 cited papers 20000 cited articles 30000 cites articles 40000 cited items 40000 items with references 50000 cited items 60000 cited items Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!
