Which locations use RePEc the most?

July 1, 2024

Which locations use the RePEc sites the most? To answer this question, we look at the Google Analytics statistics for some of the most popular RePEc sites (IDEAS, EDIRC, RePEc Author Service, plus a few small sites).

Google Analytics is a very widely used tools that allows basic traffic analysis for web sites. One dimension that is available to webmaster is counts for specific locations, defined as those for which country codes exist. That means that some locations that are part of another country are singled out, such as Puerto Rico (part of the US) and Guadeloupe (France). Below we rank those locations based on statistics for sessions from June 2011 to June 2023 and “engaged sessions” (more that just loading a page and moving on elsewhere) since then.

RePEc in December 2023, and a look back at 2023

January 4, 2024

Another year came to an end. Let us first look at how RePEc did in November. We added to archives, Manchester Institute of Innovation Research and Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Karachi. We counted 374,489 file downloads and 1,459,965 abstract views.

Now if we look at the entire year, we added 34 archives, which is less than previous years, but with over 2300 archives, the room to grow on that measure is getting smaller. We launched a completely rewritten RePEc Author Service. We counted 5,245,090 file downloads and 20,054,709 abstract views. Archives added about 350,000 items, including 56,000 working papers and 265,000 articles. 1700 new authors registered with RePEc. About 10 million references were extracted.

After all these years, RePEc is still growing healthily and getting heavily used. We are looking forward to continue serving the economics profession in 2024!
