There has been much reason for celebration last month. RePEc is now 25 years old. It reached 4 million indexed research items. And a rewrite of the CitEc matching algorithm increased the number of matched citations references by 8%. In addition, we welcome some new RePEc archives:State Agency for Intellectual Property (Moldova), Universidad de Santiago de Chile, Institute for Management and Planning Studies (Iran). We counted 507,098 file downloads and 2,000,566 abstract views. And we reached the following milestones:
20,000,000 matched citations
4,000,000 indexed items
1,600,000 items with extracted references
500,000 cited working papers
