RePEc is the collaborative effort of hundreds of volunteers in 87 countries to enhance the dissemination of research in economics and related sciences. The heart of the project is a decentralised bibliographic database of working papers, journal articles, books, book chapters and software components, all maintained by volunteers. The collected data are then used in various services that deliver it to users or enhance it.
So far, more than 1,800 archives from 86 countries have contributed some 2 million research pieces from 2,300 journals and 4,300 working paper series. Some 46,000 authors have registered and 75,000 email subscriptions are served every week. — VNS
