The heart of theproject is a decentralized bibliographic database of working papers, journal articles, books, books chapters andsoftware components, all maintained by volunteers. The collected data are then used in various services that serve the collected metadata to users or enhance it.So far, over 2,200 archives from 103 countries have contributed about 3.8 million research items from 3,750 journals and 5,400 working paper series. Over 64,000 authors have registered and 80,000 email subscriptions are served every week. See below on how you can be part of this initiative.RePEc servicesThe following are services that use (principle) and contribute RePEc data.

The following are the ones we know of, and unfortunately none report usage statistics back to LogEc.EconLitEconStorGoogle ScholarInomicsMicrosoft Academic SearchOAISter/WORLDCATOpenAIREResearchGateSciverseEBSCOAdding bibliographic information to RePEcThe basic principle is that publishers index their content themselves into RePEc. They host the metadata on their http or ftp site, following the Guildford Protocol, which indicates how the metadata archive should be structured. Then, the syntax of the metadata template syntax is guided by ReDIF, the Research Documents Information Format. If you intend to contribute information about your publications to RePEc, you may read the above documents or use these step-by-step instructions or sample templates. The same instructions apply for commercial publishers or research institutes. RePEc archive maintainers may also make good use of the template syntax and link checker, of tips and tricks and the FAQ.Mailing lists for RePEc:RePEc-announce: general information about RePEc developmentsRePEc-run: discussion of technical matters regarding RePEc servicesVolunteersRePEc is entirely based on the contributions of volunteers: Maintainers of RePEc archives, editors at NEP and MPRA, and those who run the various RePEc services. If you want to get involved check out our volunteer opportunities or contact any member of the RePEc team.The ArchEc project provides long-term archiving of RePEc templates and full-text files, with the support of the Fondation Banque de France.RePEc emerged from the NetEc group, created in 1992, which received support for its WoPEc project between 1996-1999 by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) of the UK Higher Education Funding Councils, as part of its Electronic Libraries Programme (eLib). RePEc was created in June 1997 to decentralize the work done by WoPEc and thus make it independent of grant needs. RePEc is then guaranteed to remain free for all parties.ContactsEach RePEc service has contact details; for any question, please email them.
