Last month was remarkable because a lot of new material was added to RePEc: over 44,000 items! This pushed the count to over 2.5 million items indexed in RePEc. A small part in this was the addition of new participating archives at Henan University and the Institute of Certified Public Accountants. We counted 443,555 file downloads and 1,588,665 abstract views in December 2017. Finally, we passed the following milestones during the month: 300,000,000 cumulative abstract views on IDEAS 2,500,000 indexed items 8,000,000 indexed working papers 80,000 NEP subscriptions through email Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!
