Blogging seems to be experiencing a small resurgence, and when blogs discuss economics research (defined by a link to a RePEc abstract page), our aggregator captures it. If we are missing some blog, please tell!
Why are there two sites, EconPapers and IDEAS, displaying RePEc data? We are economists and think competition is good! They have some differences, so use the one fitting your needs.
Did you notice something wrong or missing on a RePEc site? Here is a rundown on how things get corrected
RePEc also has a directory of economics institutions with over 15K entries. We could need help to correct links that go bad, use the 'corrections' tab on any entry to email us corrections. Thanks.
The RePEc Genealogy now has at least 100 graduates for every year since 1980 (current year not included)
Looking for economists on Mastodon? Here are about 400, also organized by field, country and region.
Due to the ever increasing quantity of data, updates on IDEAS take more and more time. Sometimes, it takes more that a day for the queue to clear. Relief is coming soon in the form of completely rewritten update scripts.
RePEc takes over the maintenance of their profiles when authors die. We know of over 1200 of them, and appreciate notifications about those that need to be added.
Many bots are abusing websites, including RePEc's. Protective measures can help (at a cost), but it also means that RePEc cannot access anymore data from some publishers. RePEc indeed uses automatic retrieval, but only on a specifically prepared part of a publisher site. It should not be protected, but it sometimes is, and thus some publications are not updated.
