This preserves, for example, the unicity of the record, and this also prevents any abuse. For preprints, however, there is more flexibility, even authors can submit their works through MPRA (and Elsevier does allow deposits there).

For instance, even the November 2011 issue of the Journal of Comparative Economics is still not recorded in RePEC!!!? On the other hand, there is no way how the authors can report such publications themselves. Thus, the record is not updated and thus not accurate…Regards, Kreso
