RePEc

RePEc, or Research Papers in Economics, is a pioneering initiative dedicated to enhancing the dissemination of economic research across the globe. With contributions from over 2,200 archives and thousands of volunteers, RePEc has organically developed into a centralized index featuring approximately 4.5 million research items, including working papers, journal articles, and software code. The platform prides itself on providing free access to a wealth of economic literature through user-friendly services, such as EconPapers for browsing and searching, and IDEAS for comprehensive database access.

Authors can create profiles through the RePEc Author Service, enabling increased visibility and citation tracking of their works. Institutions also benefit from RePEc, gaining insights into publication metrics and enhancing the visibility of their researchers' outputs. With additional services like NEP for new economics papers and CitEc for citation analysis, RePEc serves as an essential facilitator for researchers, publishers, and institutions, ensuring that valuable economic research is easily accessible to both authors and readers worldwide.
